Lunch Box Apple Bean Salad

"I found this on a GI website, it was a post not from the publication, but from a reader who was so happy to be able to contribute a Low GI recipe she and the girls at work loved so much. I don't recall her name, but remember her enthusiasm. I personally didn't think this recipe was anything spectacular when I first made it, but find myself now making it often, just as the title reads, this is a lunch box apple bean salad."
