I made this recipe for a recent BBQ i attended, and the salad was a hit! I just swapped roasted red peppers for the artichokes because they were not at my grocery store. Very light and not sweet, like typical bean salads are. I even got a compliment from one person, saying he loved it because it did not have too many kidney beans in it, like other bean salads he had tried. I would defintiely make this simple, easy, fast recipe again!

This is a great salad! I used fresh beans for a nice, snappy flavor. The mustard makes this dish, so use a good one!

This recipe is a good twist if you are not in the mood for the same old 3 bean salad. I brought this to a potluck bbq and almost everyone went back for thirds of this dish until it was gone.

Very versatile dish- I substitued cannellini beans because I did not have butter beans on hand and I also used marinated artichoke hearts instead. If you don't have the marinated artichokes on hand you could just add a small clove of garlic crushed to the dressing for added flavor. You could really play with the ingredients on this one to suit your tastes! Excellent flavor!

Did not look all that appetizing, I love the dressing but I couldn't fix the presentation. The Butter beans seemed to have made it mushy. would probably try wax beans next time.

I loved the preparation...pop open a few cans and mix it all up. However, it's missing...something. I couldn't figure it out, but playing around with spices might definitely improve this recipe

This turned out great. I used fresh string beans and omitted the salt. I also rinsed all the canned beans to reduce the salt. It was refreshing and very light

This was an unusual bean salad and worth a try. Some people really loved it, including my husband.

This is an excellent quick choice! Made it for a picnic at my in-laws and it was a big hit. Didn't spice it up like I normally would have (little more salt-n-pepper and hotter mustard) but it turned out just perfect to serve to a variety of people. I also added mushrooms, and some wax beans. Overall, great!
