Linda's Bean Salad

keen5's Note:

My sister-in-law took some of her bean salad to my mom and I tasted it. After that, I had to have the recipe and called her right away. This is great for picnics, potlucks, or anytime. I suggest making it a day ahead, as it is so much tastier then. Not sure of the servings, since she just brought a serving to my mom. Cooking time is the refrigeration time to chill.

There is something unpalatable about this recipe. The soft hard boiled eggs mixed with the starchy beans in a cold yogurt dressing is very unappealing. I found the feel of it in my mouth repulsive and the flavor was blah. Sorry. I wanted to like it because it fits into the WW CORE program.
