Another good basic salad recipe which can easily be changed up depending on your likes and dislikes and what is on hand at the time. I wanted a smaller salad so used one tin of a three bean mix and one tin of black beans. I love colour so used green, red and yellow bell peppers in addition to the chopped onion. As per other reviews, the sugar was cut back, and it is still quite sweet. The longer it marinates the better it gets. Thanks, Kim! Great recipe.

This is so delish, and good for you. My husband said he never thought he would eat something that looked like this...lol...yes he loves it too! I used garbonzo beans instead of kidney beans. I made it like it called for first. Then I tweeked it by just using 1 cup of sugar instead of 1 1/4 cup..we never noticed that 1/4 C. missing. I have mmade tgis many times now. And there is usuall enough liquid left to use again with new beans and onions....just leave it in for at leaast an hour....thanks for this recipe idea Kim.....Cindy

This is the type of recipe I was looking for. I too had no green pepper so used celery. I do think green pepper would be GREAT. Thanks Kim

This was good! I didn't have any bell pepper so I used celery... I also cut back on the sugar and used garbanzo for the wax beans... Tasty!

Was almost the kind of three-bean salad that I like. Next time I would cut the sugar down and it would be perfect. I used scallion instead of regular onion. Pretty good and authentic. Just a bit too sweet.

This is a great recipe without using any oil! I added 1/4 tsp celery seeds for taste and interest and substituted black beans for kidney and it really was a hit

Very easy and really good. Did make too much juice and I even added a large can of garbanzo beans. Next time I will cut back on the sugar and up the vinegar. This recipe would be difficult to mess up. It's a keeper!

It took a whole lot of tweaking, but I came up with a delicious bean salad that is not too sweet using this recipe as a base. I cut the sugar back to 3/4 of a cup and increased the vinegar to 3/4 cup. I left the water and other spices alone. I omitted the bell pepper (forgot it) and added a peeled, but not chopped, clove of garlic. I also sliced the onions into thin rings. Only for nostalgas sake. That's how my mom made it. Everyone in the family, except the kid who won't touch a beam, loved it. I let it marinate overnight and it's outstanding. Thanks to all the folks who left their reviews!

Pretty good. I think the sugar and cider vinegar can both be altered to suit your tastes. I prefer a little less sweet and a little more tang, so I cut the sugar by 1/2 cup and increased the cider by 1/4 cup (while reducing the water by 1/4 cup) Also added some different beans (butter and black) and red onion. Others liked it and commented they had never had a bean salad quite like it, as they were taking seconds!

This was way too sweet. It also had too much dressing. It wasn't very nice to look at either. Sorry! I don't think it could be doctored up to meet my expectations!

I took a chance and made this for a family meal, I even doubled it. Unfortunately, it wasn't well received. After tasting it, my 4 year old said, "do I have to eat the beans, I don't like them." Sorry, but this was definitely not what I was hoping for. I guess it just wasn't what the group was expecting either. I'll keep searching for more of a vinaigrette 3 bean salad. My mistake, I should have realized 1.25 cups sugar was going to be quite sweet.

I have always been scared of three bean salad- NO MORE! I make lunch for 40 people at work each week- this website is so valuable to me. Requested this week was three bean salad. This was EASY and really yummy! Never buy canned again!
