We love this recipe and is a staple at all of our cookouts. A very flexible recipe. I use green, kidney, and black beans. I do cut down on the sugar a bit but this is only because I like it with apple cider vinegar. White vinegar needs more sugar.

The recipe's dressing proportions are way off, hence the 3-star rating. Taking down the sugar/oil level to make it healthier, I loved this salad. Will definitely make it again! Subbed a shallot for the onion.

I wasn't fond of this salad. Took it to a Christmas potluck. Maybe just too many other wonderful food items but this one wasn't a hit and I'll never make this version again.

I followed a lot of the suggestions, cutting down on the sugar and using red wine vinegar.. also added peas as well. This really was excellent.

Quite oily, sour, and overpoweringly celery-tasting. I used dried beans instead of canned, so maybe the extra salt of canned beans would change the flavor... but I would not count on it.

I love three bean salad. As others suggested I always put in the chick peas. Try a chopped green bell pepper...it adds a lot of flavor!

My favorite bean salad of all time! Beats any canned bean salad. I add diced green peppers and diced carrots...YUM!!

Just what I've been looking for. I used 1/4 cups each of 5 kinds of dry beans (cooked) because I don't like green beans. It is so good I want to eat it for a side dish with every meal. Thanks for such a good recipe.
