Great taste lots of color... an excellent salad!! In shopping for beans I was surprised how many are canned with high fructose corn syrup! I couldn't find the correct size cans either (all had more than the recipe called for but I used all the beans anyway). If you want to avoid corn syrup here are the brands I found WITHOUT it: Pastene Kidney Beans Shur Fine Pinto Beans and Bush's Best Garbanzos. Enjoy!
This was delicious and made a nice side dish for grilling. I used un-marinated artichoke hearts for a healthier dish and green onion for color. I certainly recommend it!
This salad was excellent. I made it for a pot luck at work and was asked for the recipe by tons of people. The feta cheese is a great addition.
The dressing is perfect; somehow it brings out the sweetness of the beans. I subbed black beans for the pinto beans and plain artichoke hearts (instead of marinated) and added a couple stalks of celery that I happened to have the fridge. Even my 4-year-old liked it.
Okay so now I am in love with Bob. Or at least with his salad. And I didn't even have some of the yummiest sounding ingredients. I usually am not fond of three bean salad. But this dressing with balsamic vinegar won me over. I confess though -- I added another 2 teaspoons of sugar. But probably not needed. I poured the dressing over frozen green beans (thawed) a can of garbonzo beans a can of red beans and three big green onions chopped. Super good. I cannot wait to make it again and include the red pepper artichokes and feta cheese.
This dressing really hits the spot! And I like to add black olives and tomatoes. Really nice.
I thought it was delightful. For breakfast I sprinkled bacon on top and at it with poached eggs.
Sorry just wasn't crazy about this recipe. I did not use marinated artichokes - maybe that would have added more flavor.
