Absolutely yummy!! It is a perfect salad for a light summer meal. We made it with turkey burgers and iced tea. I followed the recipe exactly and it is really good. Next time I might try adding some dried cranberries. Thanks so much ~ we love it!!!!

It's an odd combination of tastes. I'm not sure that it's something my family favors.

Very different from the ordinary. My company emptied the entire bowl. I added dried cranberries and added 2 teas. agave nectar to the dressing. Wonderful......

I was so glad to find this recipe here. I've had it for years (probably got it from a USA Weekend supplement to my newspaper), but lost my recipe card. This makes a very pretty, very healthy, very tasty salad! Great for summer potlucks.

Wow! This is totally delicious. Toasting the walnuts gives it great flavor. I used great northern beans instead of cannelini because they were cheaper. :) Having it for dinner tonight and I think I'm going to have to sneak in another serving.

This was really delicious and different. Don't add the walnuts until just before serving, and make sure to toast them. \it makes a big differnce in the taste. Thanks!

So good! We used a good quality balsamic the second time and it made all the difference. So fast and easy with wonderful results.

This has every element of the best kind of recipe: it's inexpensive, very healthy, tasty, quick, and makes lots! I first clipped this recipe years ago out of a newspaper. It fell apart when I went to make it last week, so I came to allrecipes and here it was. It's just great.
