I actually didn't like the absence of the sweetness - tasted like I left something out.

I hesitated to review because I didn't have some of the ingredients but it was soooo good regardless that I couldn't help myself. I didn't have green onions so I used a small ordinary onion finely chopped. No cayenne pepper or celery ...we didn't miss them. No kidney beans but I did have black beans so I put those in instead. I also added a bit of cilantro and a garlic clove minced even though I added the powder version of garlic too. Everyone had seconds even the picky eaters. I'm keeping this one and using it again. Wonderful dish.

Just super - and easy. This is the only bean salad I EVER make.

This is the best! Not too sweet and tastes even better the next day. I used fresh green beans and red onion instead of green

I made this for a BBQ we went to, and we showed up late so I had lots of leftovers. Because this was a nice SPICE twist these beans also made an excellent addition to steak quesadillas!

Awesome recipe, made it 3 times since I first tried now. Just like the restaurant 3 bean salad's I have had in the past. Thanks, Forest.

very good. I have made it just like the recipe, or when I didnt' have green beans, I substituted a different type of canned beans and it was also good

I rated 3 stars because a made a few chages with these changes i think it is 5 stars. Omit the green onions, celery, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add 1 small chopped onion. Other then that make as directed. The longer it sits the better. This is always a family favorite the next day.

Delicious! It was a big hit with my book club. Since there is a lot of the dressing, I added an extra can of green beans the next time I made it. Very good - especially after sitting in the fridge overnight.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! The picky kids and I could not stop eating this after we finished stirring it all together (before it has even marinated!) Subbed lima beans for garbanzo, used fresh green beans and vidalia onion instead of green. This is definitely a keeper, I'll be making this all summer long!
