  1. I took this to our family clambake, and it was rated very highly by everyone! It has a nice, light sweet-sour taste. Next time I make it, I will add a few less beans and more romaine lettuce. Thanks for the recipe, BeachGirl!
     
  2. Delicious -- perfect with ribs with just enough leftover salad for lunch tomorrow. Because I wanted to use what I had on hand I subsituted a can of butter beans for the northern beans and used a regular onion and white sugar instead of purple onion and spenda without any obvious problems. Thanks Beachgirl for sharing this delicious and different salad. This will become a regular at our house.
