I cut the amount of oil in half and replaced the sugar with Splenda. The sweet and sour balance was just wonderful and made a perfect dressing for this bean salad. I had some at 5 hour and again after it sat overnight. The later was definitely better as the red onions had released more of their flavor and mellowed into the rest of the dish. Yum. Thanks Kaarin.

Tastes just like deli bean salad. I substituted white onion for red, didn't have green pepper, cut the sugar some, and used black pepper. Mmmm. A great way to get fiber into the diet! Thanks!

I use this dressing with any type of canned bean assortment. I make sure I rinse the canned beans well, especially the black beans and have thrown a can of kernel corn in too. I also add 2-3 TBSP chopped fresh parsley to the mix.

Excellent version of this classic recipe. It had the perfect mix of sweet/sour tang, and just the right amount of dressing for the beans. I'm placing this one in my favorite salads cookbook, and you can be sure it will be made often, because it's so easy to make before chilling it overnight.

This was very easy to prepare. For personal preference I left out the gr. pepper and used black pepper in place of the white called for. This was very tasty. Thanks for the recipe.

I will cut the sugar down to 1/4 - 1/3 cup next time as I thought it was just a little too sweet. I added a can of yellow wax beans and 1/2 of a red pepper I had on hand. Colorful and delicious.

perfect - just like my mom's. I subbed can of wax beans for garbanzos, and used red bell pepper instead of green as I don't like green. Yummy perfect for summertime!
