I made up this recipe for a cool summer dish to take to a picnic. I just threw together things I had on hand and it became a hit! You may substitute your favorite type of bean for the garbanzos. Any firm bean will do. You may omit the jalapeno altogether. This salad will work as a main course and is very satisfying and colorful. The different tastes and textures are very pleasing. Serve cold.

Just what a Greek salad should be, chock full of hearty ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, and of course beans, and done up with a zesty dressing. Serves eight.

This recipe is a great way to use up a can of garbanzo beans or those last few spoonfuls of tomato sauce! It's also very versatile so you can add different spices and vegetables as the mood strikes!

Garbanzo beans, sliced tomatoes and onion are chilled with a no-fuss dressing in this change-of-pace salad that comes from Barbara Carbee's kitchen. The Brooksville, Florida reader tosses together the refreshing medley right before serving.

This salad uses quinoa, which gives a nice texture and mild nutty flavor to the dish. Best served chilled, this salad is wonderful for picnics.

Zesty Italian dressing and a night in the fridge do wonders for the beans in this simple but tasty salad. It couldn 't be easier. Green beans and limas are mixed with green onions and pimentos, chilled and served over chopped lettuce.

Balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce do their thing in this terrific salad. It 's colorful too. Black beans, red tomatoes, yellow peppers and green parsley to boot.

This recipe was given to me by a vegan friend I had in college. It is the best bean salad I have ever tasted, and I love it because you can experiment with the ingredients and still have a mouth-watering side dish. I hope you like it!

A tasty lime dressing, with cayenne and garlic added for kick, make this salad a bit different from the one above. Avocado too. And this salad doesn't need to sit in the frig, it can be served to four hungry people immediately.
