  1. Hey wake up world, the perfect recipe may just have arrived!!! Okay, I admit I am a bean lover but I have not been able to get enough of this since I made it. Obviously this is a summer dish but it is very light and has a slight sweetness that is refreshing on hot days. This is not to be missed!
     
  2. Oh my gosh! Wow! These are the kind of things I uttered, over and over as I was eating a bowl of this wonderfully simple dish! Who would have ever thought that so few ingredients could taste so spectacular?!?! :) I couldn't get enough, and can't wait to make it again! The marinade is sweet and tart, the beans are creamy, and the pepper adds a great crunch. I kept trying to think of what else I might add to it, and I couldn't think of a darn thing! Thanks!!
     
  3. This is a good salad, the dressing has a nice amount of sweet/tart to it. I decided to add some chopped onion to this to give a little extra flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. This was a huge hit at our dinner party tonight! I made using garlic red wine vinegar, added some onion, left out the green pepper as DH doesn't like them. I also added in a can of pinto beans as well (that's all I had in the house) since it had so much dressing. I will make again, but next time half the dressing amount and decrease the sugar a bit as well. However, using the red wine vinegar may've made it a bit sweeter than using regular white vinegar. Definitely recommend marinating overnight.
     
  5. Easy and flavorful! I substituted chick peas for the green pepper and added a can of corn. This recipe is very easy to customize to personal preference. Put a scoop on a plate of mixed greens and you have a healthy lunch. Thanks, Bev.
