In Miami, Florida, Terri Webber picks this zesty salad when she needs a crowd-pleaser that's as close as her pantry. 'The dressing blends nicely with the combination of canned beans, tomato and onion,' she says. 'This salad tastes just as good when It's made a day ahead. I've never seen a bowl empty so quickly!'

'A gal at work shared this interesting bean salad with me a few years ago,' notes Michelle Smith of Running Springs, California. 'It has lots texture and gets a little kick from the chili powder and cumin without being too hot. It's a nice favorite at our family gatherings. For a hearty change of pace, serve it in a tortilla with slices of grilled chicken breast.'

This recipe is a favorite with my husband and five boys, all hearty eaters. It's filling, economical and, best of all, easy to prepare. I spend many afternoons driving our sons back and forth to their wrestling and band practices, piano lessons, Boy Scout meetings and church activities.
