My grandmother made this salad when I was a little girl! She used chopped up sweet pickle gerkins and added some of the sweet pickle juice, instead of pickle relish and Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. I don't care for kidney beans, but love them in this salad. Thanks for the great memories!

This makes me miss my Grandma Ree! This bean salad was served at every family function. Think this is going to be on the menu for Christmas this year!

I finally found a bean salad I love! This is basically an old family pasta salad, minus the pasta - good for a low carb diet, or just for quick prep (you don't have time to cook pasta). This salad is good even without the 1 hour in the fridge. I used dill pickles instead of relish and only more like 1/4 c. mayonnaise, but otherwise left this unaltered. Delicious!

Had some kidney beans, that I needed to use, thought I would try this recipe, because it was quick and I had all the ingredients. It turned out better then I thought it would. I was really good, I can see myself making this again and again, thanks for sharing such a great and easy recipe

Brings back memories! However, I chop all ingredients super small (except beans) so the kidney beans are the real star! Also, I add a half of a finely chopped carrot for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch. Mmm mmm good!

I love this recipe! It is the best. Since we like beans, I started adding 1 can of Garbanzo Beans and instead of sweet pickle relish, I dice up a couple of Kosher Pickle Spears. And, for us, we don't add any eggs. This is a hit with family and friends. It is great to take to work for lunch!. Thank you Jackie for an excellent job :)

I give it five starts IF you add 1 teaspoon of curry powder. That's the best ingredient and they don't have it in there!! And I use Dill Relish instead of sweet, it gives it that dill/curry flavor that's amazing.
