Three Bean Salad With Orange Vinaigrette
"The original recipe comes out of one of my vegetarian cookbooks. I've played with the dressing over the years and scaled it up to work more easily with canned beans. Less than 5 minutes to put it together, this is a sure fire addition to summer barbeques and potlucks."

I thought this was good, but next time I think I will leave the thyme out. I do love the fact that it is only 1 pt on WWatchers and ate it for that inbetween time when I get hungry it is full of fiber and protein, which is what I need to eat instead of something with empty calories. For that I thankyou very much for posting. -
Loved it - loved the mix of orange juice and Dijon mustard! We cooked our beans as we had some and used them for this salad. After eating this, suddenly I feel healthier!! :) Thanks Toni!

This was a dissapointment. I was really looking forward toit becuas of the great combination of flavors and a nice, healthy content. The sauce wasn't heavy enough for our taste, it just pooled in the bottom and you didn't get very much. I even tryed chilling it over night to see if that helped. It thickened the sauce slightly, but still not enough. If I make this again, I think I'll just drop the black beans and the garbanzos. I would also add some sour cream to the sauce to thicken it up a bit as well as add some veggies or something. the dressing had a great flavor, just was't thick enough. -
Easy, fast and tasty. High in fiber too. Liked the orange and mustard combination. Instead of fresh I used dried thyme leaves (about 1/2 teaspoon) and Maille brand whole grain Dijon mustard. BF liked this a lot too. Nice recipe, thanks!

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
