This was actually my first foray into the world of bean salads. My husband bought an interesting variety of canned beans while on his last shopping trip, and it happened to include everything this recipe called for, so it was perfect. Made everything as described minus green pepper (I subbed paprika for flavor) and it was a hit. Hubby asked that this be added to our "regulars." I look forward to experimenting with it. Thanks for sharing!

I only had black beans, red bell pepper, cucumber and frozen corn on hand. I put these ingredients together along with the oil, vinegar and sugar dressing. Yummy! No matter what ingredients you use, the dressing makes it tasty.

Don't skimp out on the sugar, it really makes the dish.

Actually, this is your typical Bean Salad. I add Red Onion and omit the mushrooms. Fast, tastes great and keeps for a week or more in the fridge. Oh, and I add chickpeas! :-)

Nice & easy. Quick - and as the recipe says, better the 2nd day. I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup, and the dressing is still sweet (but a nice change from many of the bitter dressings often found with bean salads).
