Really yummy! I would put less dressing in (perhaps only half a cup), as mine was pretty soupy even after sitting all night. Was a big hit!

Good, basic bean salad recipe. The colors of the yellow pepper and the slightly purple-black color of the beans made a great color combo. The balsamic helped to add some zip. Like Roxygirl, I served it immediately and it was fine. Good for your next cookout.

This was really good and I think the cannellini beans really added to the texture, making it creamy without any chilling (I served it five min. after making but the flavors were melded, etc). I used Kraft Zesty Italian. This would be great for a pot luck/picnic since it doesn't need refrig. Thanks Sherrybeth, for posting. Roxygirl
