Couldn't find great northern beans so I used navy beans instead. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was totally delicious. The next time I prepare this salad I will add 1/2 a cup of chopped red onion to just kick up the flavor a bit. Another plus for this recipe is that it is totally diabetic friendly and I am always on the search for new ideas as a diabetic. Thanks for posting Chicopee...............this is a keeper.

My intention was to make this for an occasion at work, but DH didn't know that and got into it. Of course, that was my excuse to do the same! It's delicious and couldn't be simpler to make. I did use the oil, and the one tablespoon is just enough. This will be a hit next summer, too, when we do a lot of entertaining or have to bring a dish; vinaigrette dressings are always a hit. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Chicopee!
