     didn't need a sweetner. otherwise, tasty, healthy idea! - 6/6/09

     First - this dish is BEAUTIFUL with all the colour! 2nd, I omitted the stevia because the corn is sweet enough and I substituted frozen peas for the butter/lima beans. Next time, I will reduce the oil. Otherwise, FANTASTIC! - 6/9/09

     I always turned my nose up at Mom's bean salad because of the garbanzo beans. It seems you have replaced them with corn. What a great idea! Can't wait to try it! And I love that it calls for Stevia instead of Sugar or (gasp!) Splenda. - 11/12/08

     What a great recipe! Thank you for sharing. This is tasty and healthy. I added a bit of spice, we like some fire in our food! - 11/12/08

     I didn't use ginger as my kids don't like that, and I used a bit of honey instead of sweetener. Lovely fresh taste, great! - 11/12/08

     I also replaced the Stevia with Honey, and vinegar with lemon juice. I also added a bit of fresh parsily. Thank you for sharing this recipe! :-) - 11/12/08

     I like the addition of ginger, but I omitted the sweetener and substituted balsamic vinegar for most of the cider vinegar. It turned out to be a very tasty and colorful variation on the standard bean salad. - 8/8/10

     Tweaked here and there for what I have on hand and like personally, good recipe, no sweetener for me. For those who have trouble with grams google grams to ounces for conversion. - 6/8/10

     Love bean salad esp. in the summer. My quick and easy recipe is to drain a can of low sodium mixed vegetables and add a can of 3 or 4 bean salad. The juice in the can of bean salad is enough to marinate the vegetables. Quick, easy and slightly different from time to time. - 6/6/10

     Delicious, but I had to leave out the corn. I cannot handle corn. It was great and I am making it again Saturday for a dinner party. - 6/8/09

     I really like this recipe. I have a hard time getting enough protein each day and this will help when I have bean salad for lunch. Good for hot summer days. - 8/8/10
  • HOOKEYE
     How much Stevia is in a packet? I bought it in a small jar. This sounds good and I will give it a try. Thanks. - 8/8/10

     I like this as a foundation for adding legumes to my diet. The sodium in canned beans is so high that I pressure-cooked the kidneys & limas from scratch. I used fresh steamed corn and cut it from the cob. I did not add any sweetener but used more ginger. Next time I'll add black bean & lime juice. - 6/28/10

     Very good used green bean instead of kidney beans. - 6/7/10
  • ELLAPOR
     Great for this hot weather we're having! - 6/6/10

     I find butter beans lose their skins and look messy. I will go back to using the Limas. I love bean slad in the summer as a measured snack. I find stevia way too sweet. No corn used Chick peas, ginger made it cloudy. Wash canned beans well to remove sodium and then it this better than store bought. - 6/6/10
