I do love 3-bean salad, but the way you have it dressed up in this recipe is absolutely wonderful, I thought! Made it with small pasta shells & seasoned it with lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for posting it! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]

I used gluten free pasta shells and substituted the celery for cucumber, but other than that I stuck to the recipe and served it with salad leaves and a gf seed roll. I love recipes like this where you can have as part of a main meal or just stick it in the fridge and graze on it whenever you feel peckish without feeling guilty. Thank you for sharing BB
