      This was a really tasty and easy to make salad! The flavor is right on the mark for the classic bean-salad taste. If there was a little extra dressing, I used it up by putting in a couple extra cans of beans: I used 6 cans total, which seemed just right, and all the different beans looked just beautiful. Thanks for a great recipe! :)

      Good flavor. I thought it made just a bit too much dressing, but everyone loved it. Thanks.

      This is a great simple recipe that I'm using with all kinds of beans. It keeps in the fridge forever so it makes dinners and lunches a little easier if I make a big batch on the weekend and use it throughout the week. I've found that I can reduce the oil to 1/4 cup without much of a difference and drop a lot of calories. Also adding parsley and dill has been very successful!

      This is great! My store doesn't carry wax beans, so I made it with pintos. I also didn't have red wine vinegar, and thought balsamic would make the dressing too sweet, so I used cider. I think I'll make a point to use the red next time. I also think this recipe needs a lot more salt, especially where I tried this with a total of 6 cans of beans as Sue L. suggested in her review. I may try the salad with 5 cans of beans next time as there wasn't quite enough dressing to suit me. I think I'll also add a whole small sweet onion instead of just half of it. The flavor is all there, and I'll definitely be making this a lot! Thanks for a great recipe!

      This was very good. I used a white balsamic vinegar and slightly less oil, just based on personal preference (1/3 cup). I'll be making this again. It was a nice addition to a summer picnic! Upgraded stars to five after my boyfriend's father said he's never had better three-bean salad. Also, I took it to work today for a picnic lunch we had and it was ALL gone!

      This was great! I used chickpeas, kidney beans and a can of mixed beans. Loved the flavor of the tangy sweet marinade and it was super easy to make. It will become a definite go-to salad!

      I am getting a little tired of macaroni or potato salads and wanted to give something different a try. This salad was very good and the dressing worked well with the beans. I used kosher salt instead of seasoning salt, garlic red wine vinegar, and minced a red onion. I had cut green beans and liked the size of them next to the wax and kidney beans. Refrigerated the salad for about 8 hours and enjoyed it a lot. Made and reviewed for the Game Forums - I Recommend Tag Game.

      Yummy! I didn't have wax beans so used pinto beans like Two Socks did. I also left out the onion and added cilantro. Delicious!

      This was really good. I only used 1 can of kidney beans and I left out the onion. I also used slightly less than 1/2 cup of oil instead of the full 1/2 cup because I prefer my bean salad to be more vinegary and less oily.

      Very tasty! Based on some others reviews, I made a few very minor modifications. Some others stated there was too much dressing, so I decreased those ingredients to 1/3 cup each, and that amount seemed just right. Increased the seasoned salt to 1 tsp, added a can of garbanzo beans and a chopped green pepper. This is going in my permanent file. Thank you for sharing!

      This is the same recipe that my mom always used when I was a kid and I still use today. I like to add chopped pimentos and lima beans to mine for a change of pace. Very good recipe thanks for posting.

      Very good indeed. I used black beans, cannelini and green beans instead of the more usual varieties.
