The Best Five Bean Salad

Submitted by The Big Cheese

"This is similar to some that I've tried but the taste is indescribable. Very tasty and easy to make! Make it the night before you plan to serve it so that all the flavors have time to meld. My can ounces are approximate, I buy the regular sized cans."
