Three Bean Salad for a Crowd

"This is quick and delicious. Best made 2-3 days in advance of the party, so it's one less thing you have to do on the day of the party. I have cut down on the oil that is usually used for this salad, but it's not missed. I use Splenda instead of sugar, but you can substitute sugar if you prefer it."
