This was wonderful! I found the mix of flavors to be a perfect balance of sweet and sour. In fact, with the flavors the vegetables imparted to the salad, it reminded me of the best sweet & sour stir-fry I have had. This will definitely be a favorite for summer weather and barbecues! Thank you.

    Delicious! I halved the recipe and didn't use kidney beans. Thanks, I will make this again!

    This is a NICE SIMPLE SWEET three bean recipe. I really liked the mix of colors. I used Enova oil, white vinegar and Splenda. I did refrigerate it overnight. I think I would enjoy this more, less sweet and with more spices or herbs.
