Can't say, I totally liked this. I have to say. I scaled the recipe down to 2 cans, made it to a T for all measurements. And it was very runny and very very pickly tasting. Even tasting the beans, the relish totally over whelmed th taste buds. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a BEAN relish. But the underdog in this recipe is the beans. I ended up adding a 3rd can to accomendate the runny-ness of the mayo and relish...it helped. Not sure if I'd make this again. It just didn't do it for me. Sorry.

Addictive! I did not have white pepper, but otherwise followed the recipe. I did lightly smash the beans with a fork, though.

I didn't really care for this, but I think that it is one of those tastes taht you either love or don't love. The predominate taste was the sweet relish. I scaled the recipe back to use 2 cans of kidney beans.

Tasted like tuna salad only with beans- not that bad, but not what I was looking for.

Delicious. I've never been to New England (hopefully someday!), but we always had kidney bean salad along with potato salad & macaroni salad at every BBQ. This recipe is the same that I had growing up, with the addition of garlic. I can't believe that this recipe calls for SEVEN 16-oz cans of beans for 10 servings. No wonder we are such a heavy nation. I made my version with fat-free mayo. I made no other changes. It is so good. If you find fat-free mayo a bit too sweet, add a splash of vinegar.

Mira, a sweet relish is a sweet pickle relish found in the condiment aisle of your grocer. Hope this helps.

I cut this recipe in half and it still made a ton. Keeping to the recipe, I refrigerated it for a couple of hours before giving it a try. It tasted pretty boring at that point, but the next day...! It was a completely changed dish! The directions should read, "Refrigerate overnight." This recipe is a keeper.
