A bit too tangy so I'd reduce the vinegar next time but there will be a next time. I also used fresh garlic and didn't add onion (we don't like them). Left it in the fridge to marinate about three hours, stirred once and it turned out just great.

I love 3 bean salad and thought they all pretty much tasted the same but this one is the best! Maybe its the honey instead of sugar? We make it all the time. I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil and usually omit the celery and use real garlic instead of garlic powder

This is not one of the most flavorful bean salads I've ever eaten, but it was pretty good! I realized I was out of honey after I'd already started to make this, so I used corn syrup instead. I also used regular onion instead of green...that's all I had in the house. All in all, this is a pretty good salad, but I think I would try a different one next time.

How can you go wrong with 3 bean salad? It was a good somewhat healthy side dish for our BBQ. I also added white hominy corn as I like those in my salads.

Very good! I used less vinegar than in the recipe, and substituted finely chopped red onion for the onion powder, and some whole grain mustard for the mustard powder. Since I was making it for a vegan friend, I substituted agave nectar for the honey. Was very tasty, much better than the store bought.

Easy and good. I added a bit more honey to make it a bit sweeter, but that is the only thing I changed. Thank you for sharing.

Um, honey is not vegan! Use agave instead :)

This is so delicious! I did cut back the vinegar to 1/4 cup after reading some reviews remarking on a strong taste of vinegar. I also added a bit of salt and didn't try the optional seasonings.

i found the flavour of the cider vinegar too strong for my liking. i would rather have a plain vinegar/sugar mix. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't the flavour i was looking for.

This is a fantastic bean salad recipe! The flavor is phenomenal and it is so easy to prepare and it's healthy to boot. The only change I made was I substituted red onions for green onions. I will be making this often. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is very good. I really like the dressing. It is a very good idea to drain the beans after they have set in the fridge overnight. It really does keep the beans from being "mushy".

Everyone at our cookout loved this 3 bean salad. I did reduce the vinegar to 1/3 C. and added 2 cloves minced garlic instead of the garlic powder. Oh, I also replaced the green onions with red onion because that's what I had on hand. I loved the addition of the honey. Great recipe!

I like the idea of this recipe but I realized that I don't like garbonzo beans and it was a little too vinegary. Thanks for the recipe, just not my style.

Fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly except that I did not have green onions so I used red and I dashed on the cayenne pepper to control for my liking instead of using the recommended measurement. I like the nuttiness of the garbanzo beans and I think the salad would have been just ok without them so be sure not to skip them unless you don't like garbanzos. Thanks for a quick, simple, and tasty recipe!
