  I REALLY wish that people would not add comments to recipe ratings until AFTER they have made it. - 3/18/09

  I make a similiar bean salad, but add a diced green or red pepper. I find I can make it without any oil and thus cut down on the calories. This keeps so well in the refrigerator for some time. - 3/18/09

  I always thank people who submit recipes that I will make and after i make them I go back and edit my comments :) I do hate when people are critical of a recipe before they've tried it, that's just rude and hurtful! - 3/19/09

  I make this using green and/or red pepper and thinly sliced red onion. Instead of the oil, Splenda and vinegar, I use commercial bottled Italian dressing that is fat-free and very low calories. - 3/18/09

  Fantastic. I make it without the wax beans, and just add 2 cans green beans. Also add more onion and bell pepper than called for. Works really well, and is great for packing a quick lunch. Awesome. - 4/15/09

  Something does not add up right. There ought to be more protein and fiber in this mix. OK, just noticed under ingredients - all beans are less than a cup when in reality, a can has 3-4 servings-2 cups. So, what size can are we talking about? I would use EVOO and no splenda for me! - 3/18/09

  I was really wary of the Splenda as I hadn't used it except in my coffee... but the flavor was terrific! I made it for the company picnic, and I had none left to take home after. SO easy to make. - 8/23/10

  Just about like the one I make, only I add diced red peppers. Quick and easy when I need something for a church supper. Also keeps well for a couple days. - 3/18/09

  I plan to use olive oil and substitute celery seed for the celery since I do not have any in house right now, and leave out salt. - 3/18/09

  I MAKE IT A BIT DIFFERENTLY - NO OIL, LESS (REGULAR)SUGAR AND MORE SALT/PEPPER. I ALSO ADD CORN INSTEAD OF CELERY/PIMENTOS AND SWITCH AROUND THE TYPES OF BEANS DEPENDING ON THE MOOD! IT IS FABULOUS AND A FAVORITE AT MY HOUSE - 4/28/10

  I make one that is very similar, but I don't add Splenda. It keeps very well. Time to make it again.

  How do you determine the serving size in a recipe like this? It serves 14 but how many cups per person? - 11/6/11

  May try something like this, using fewer varieties of dried beans that I cook up myself. Could be an excellent potluck dish! - 9/9/11

  I assumed this meant 15 oz. cans of beans. It was and is delicious. Beans are just the best. I only used .25 cup splenda because I find it too sweet and only had olive oil in the house so used it. - 9/7/11

  I love bean salad...I've always reduced the oil called for, and since my WLS, I've been using Splenda...you can't tell any difference, and neither can anyone else.. - 7/6/11

  i halved this recipe as i live alone..it was way too sweet for my tastes, but otherwise very good..i will try this again, without splenda & using rice wine vinegar which adds a bit of sweetness on it's own.. - 7/6/11

  O.K.
  
  Is the 3/4 cup Splenda a typo? And ... as for commenting before making it: no offense, but some of us have made enough similar recipes that we actually have a fair idea of the outcome. - 7/6/11

  I think the idea of this recipe was very good although I do have to say that I used it as a starting point. I used a can of "Blue Menu" 6-Bean Medley (low sodium) and added a tin of black beans. Added celery, red pepper and shallots. No sweetener - just spices and voila guess what balsamic vinegar - 5/10/11

  This sounds delicious. I am going to make it this weekend and see if I like it, some of the beans I've never tried before but I am a fan of most so I'll probably love it. I will come back and comment on it soon! Thanks for adding the recipe! - 3/18/09

  Looks like a serving is at least 1/2 cp, according to the amounts of the ingredients here-sounds about right. Yum, I love bean salads and plan to make this soon-w/ my tweaks to suit my personal taste. - 3/18/09
