Tangy Three Bean Salad

We like a buffet with all the family here. We serve a variety of salads. This is also great for summer picnics and cookouts. Keeps well, and serves a lot of people. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

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.

This is a wonderful recipe!! Instead of using white sugar, I use Splenda and it is just as good! Thank you!!

This was amazing! I was trying to use the many green beans I have from the garden this time of year. I wasn't sure if I had exactly the right amount of beans but it all turned out great. I used fresh green beans, yellow wax beans and heirloom dragon's tongue beans and steamed them for approx 5 min before mixing this all together. I may decrease the amount of sugar next time as it was a bit too sweet and I also used just a dash of celery salt as I didn't have any celery seed on hand. I am super in love with this recipe overall and will be making it again and again. Thank you very much for this recipe!

Very good- also got the kid seal of approval from my 5 and 8 year-olds! I used fresh beans from my garden, both green and yellow, so I blanched them for a few minutes in boiling water. I also threw the sliced onion in for about the last 30 seconds, just to soften them a bit, then I plunged all the veggies into an ice bath. I used celery salt rather than seed, and that was only because I discovered I was out of celery seed, and I also cut back on the sugar some (probably to about 1/2 cup). This was very good- my whole family enjoyed it.

Not bad, but a little too sweet for us, and I cut down the sugar. I did use splenda, but 1/4 c of it, so it would have been too much for us with the amount called for. We don't have wax beans, but bf decided we should put in light red kidney beans, dark red kidney beans, great northern beans, and garbanzo beans. I did still use green beans, though! It needs a bit more vinegar with all the beans we used, and it tasted okay, but I think I'll try some other recipes. We actually decided to make our own because the purchased salad is too sweet for us. Thanks for the recipe!

This is sssoooo good when made with half the called-for sugar and added chickpeas and 1/2 tsp onion powder as well. Really, even right away it was super yummy.

this is a great, refreshing, simple dish. i've made it countless times for dinner parties and my boyfriend. i do replace the wax beans for a can of garbanzo beans (personal preference) though. thanks for the delicious recipe!

We had this for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it!! I used Apple Cider vinegar and it was soooo good. Make sure you make it the day before and let it stir it several times..I will be making this again and again..

This salad is great. I have it for lunch with a can of tuna mixed in it. I usually have tuna mixed in mayo this is a wonderful refreshing change.

I am updating this to five stars. This is SO good! This is a great salad to take to a picnic or buffet in summer since it has no mayo in it. I think the amount of sugar is just fine (I use Splenda). I sometimes add a can of wax beans also. And I use celery salt instead of seed and omit the regular salt. Very good! Thanks for sharing.

This is not something I make, but thought it might make a good foil for the quiche I was making & it did. It was addictive, delicious, but...........waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much sugar! Happy that I heard the other "too much sugar" comments, cutting mine to 1/3 cup [Splenda] & next time, will probably only add 1/4 cup. I am a sweetoholic. The submitter states that the recipe makes a lot, & to me, that really isn't true, so maybe the amount of beans was meant to have been tripled, or at least doubled.......I can't imagine this with all that sugar!
