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.

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.

There is so much flavor in this tasty bean dip that your guests will never dream that it 's low-fat. Everything is layered into a bowl, so when you 're ready to eat, all you need are some sturdy tortilla chips for deep dipping.

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!

This is an easy, healthy salad that is a great side dish to BBQ chicken, beef or fish! It can also be easily adapted to a Tex-Mex style by changing the lemon to lime, parsley to cilantro and adding ground cumin and/or chili powder! Be sure to add the lemon zest (or lime zest) as this really adds a ZING to the salad!

This is a delicious light salad for summer. Great as a side dish, but filling enough for a light lunch!

A great marinade and an overnight in the fridge make all the difference for this green been and corn salad. It 's simple to make and goes with grilled chicken, beef or pork beautifully. Serves eight.

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.

Great textures and tastes in this salad of garbanzo beans, chopped apples and nuts. Honey mustard and mayonnaise dressing adds yet another taste dimension.
