27 Reviews of Three Bean Salad

This was a really tasty and easy to make salad! The flavor is right on the mark for the classic bean-salad taste. If there was a little extra dressing, I used it up by putting in a couple extra cans of beans: I used 6 cans total, which seemed just right, and all the different beans looked just beautiful. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is great! My store doesn't carry wax beans, so I made it with pintos. I also didn't have red wine vinegar, and thought balsamic would make the dressing too sweet, so I used cider. I think I'll make a point to use the red next time. I also think this recipe needs a lot more salt, especially where I tried this with a total of 6 cans of beans as Sue L. suggested in her review. I may try the salad with 5 cans of beans next time as there wasn't quite enough dressing to suit me. I think I'll also add a whole small sweet onion instead of just half of it. The flavor is all there, and I'll definitely be making this a lot! Thanks for a great recipe!

Quick and very easy to make. My family get togethers always love it. Since it does make too much dressing, I added a can of garbonzo beans to it. Great addition. THanks.

Good flavor. I thought it made just a bit too much dressing, but everyone loved it. Thanks.

I agree, made it again, and it Does make a bit too much dressing, sorry I don't always measure...just add more beans as suggested.

This was so good !!! I love bean salad on its own or with cottage cheese or just mixed in with a green salad. I admit I always buy it in a jar ~~ I made this and its the BEST!! I did add garbonzo beans to it too. Thank-you

I halved the recipe and wish now I had made the whole thing as I have to make more today. I took everyone's advice and made less dressing. I made it with red wine vinegar and am going to make it today using the balsamic. I drained my kidney beans as I don't like all that stuff that is in the beans when you open the can. Very good, thanks for posting.

Made only half this recipe and made exactly to ingredients except that I added some garbanzo beans and some black pepper. My husband said this is the best three bean salad he has ever had. The dressing is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this super recipe!
