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.

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 super tasty bean salad that can almost double as a main course. A three bean medley of red kidney, pinto, and garbanzo beans, tossed with red bell pepper, marinated artichoke hearts, and feta cheese. Served chilled after marinating for only an hour in a zesty oil and vinegar dressing.

Here's a three-bean salad with fresh veggies tossed in a red wine vinaigrette with herbs and seasonings. Prep time is quick, then chill before serving. With a loaf of crusty bread, this salad is a meal in itself. Instead of sunflower seeds, you can top with slivered almonds or shredded cheese.

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.
