Love it! The combination of beans and vegetables is fantastic and I loved the dressing. It should be noted that this is a sweet dressing, which I enjoyed, but next time I may reduce the amount of sugar. I omitted the parsley and celery because I didn't have any, and did use sweet pepper. Delicious!

We really enjoyed this salad! I did cut the sugar and I served avocado on the side-so good! I hope you don't mind but I passed it along to the ladies at work :) You got 3 more "5 star" reviews from them.

All things good wrapped in one very good recipe. I used the 2T.sugar in the dressing & didn't find it any too sweet at all, just right. Used 1 whole green bell pepper & just tossed it in with the rest of the stuff. This is a great recipe to take to work & have for that mid morning & afternoon snack we all need. Serve it up in little bowls as the dressing will run all over your plate if you don't.
