Did not care for this at all. Took to a pot-luck and everyone agreed that it just didn't have much flavour. The cilantro just didn't fit with all the other flavours.

Yum! Everybody loved it, including me. I would use red bell pepper next time to give it more color, but I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe. Don't gross out, but I made it with Splenda instead of sugar (was on South Beach at the time). Couldn't find canned wax beans, so steamed up some fresh ones instead. My nanny went crazy for it, telling all the neighbors what a great cook I am. Now I've got to keep up with the rumors.

I made this twice - once as written and once with changes that I thought were necessary to make it much better. I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup, reduced the oil to 1/3 cup and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, added 1 cup of chopped celery, added 1 teaspoon of salt and added 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. The rest I left the same. It came out less sweet and less oily than as written.

A friend gave me "this" recipe years ago and I lost it when we moved. I was so happy when I ran across it again. This is the BEST bean salad I've ever tasted. The only thing I changed was the amount of oil, I halved it, and I used red bell pepper and a pressed garlic clove. There was lots of juice but I just used a slotted spoon to serve it. Thanks!!!

This is the best - easy to prepare, healthful. My kids, 10 an 11 years old, LOVE IT and often complain if I have not made it in a while. A great Covered Dish idea.

Loved the foundation of this recipe - very colorful, great presentation. Only a few suggestions - reduce sugar to about 2 or 3 tablespoons and use fresh green and wax beans. I also used fresh cilantro and added garlic. Really pleased with the outcome. Thanks for sharing!

I thought this was a really good bean salad but it had way too much liquid. I should have cut the liquid by half. I had to drain before serving. Nice taste though and guests really enjoyed at my last BBQ. I would probably add fresh cilantro next time to it give more of a boost, but overall very good! Will make again with those changes.

These were very good, but it makes a lot! Used 1/2 the sugar and oil as others suggested. Great for making ahead since flavors meld together and taste great!

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I just loved it! I followed the recipe pretty closely making a couple of little changes. I used Splenda instead of sugar and I added a can of drained corn! I also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Yummy!
