Great tasting salad if you do like sweet. I only used 3 cans of beans: red kidney, pinto and white northen. I cut the dressing down to 1/2 and only used 1 tsp sugar. I also added some diced jalapenos. Will make this one again since it's so tasty and easy! Made for Rookie Recipe Tag Game 2013.

This is really good but has a significantly sweet flavor. If you like a sweet bean salad this is for you. If you prefer a less sweet and more tangy salad, I would cut the sugar in half.

This was very tasty and a snap to make. We halved the recipe, using a can of chickpeas and a can of black beans. Very nice combination of flavours - we'll be making this one again! Thank you for posting your recipe!

Another great recipe, SueL. This has so much flavor and the mix of beans is really delicious and the dressing has just the right balance of flavors. I did not have apple cider vinegar, so I used sushi vinegar, which is a bit sweet, so I reduced the sugar a bit.
