I really liked this dish. I went to a pot luck and took this and everyone liked it very much.

Well as I said in the post concerning this salad I was dissappointed that it wasn't better received at our school's potluck. Hubby's job was to gather a honest review of the salad, and for the most part it came back as being accepted as average. I sometimes think that not all dishes get a fair shake at "potluck" simply because you can have such a variety of flavors that may simply clash, and I think that in all fairness that could be part of what happened here. I am submitting a picture in gratitude for your suggesting this easy salad, and I must add on the plus side that I did like the idea of making this the night before and then giving it that 1/2 hour of "warm up" time making it ideal in that respect for potluck.

Excellent bean salad! I used a very good evo and balsamic. Also, added another bean (red kidney). Easy to make, colorful and very tasty! I would definitely make this again. Can't go wrong with this one. Thank you!
