    I love this stuff and use it on almost every salad. Or even with chopped tomatos and avocados. A little feta cheese on the top. And try balsamic vinegar in it for a lot of flavor. - 7/10/07

    Awesome mixed in with a tossed salad. Didn't need to use any dressing. Didn't have any olive oil , so I substituted fat free italian dressing and it gve it a nice taste. It's nice to know that I can freeze this, I'd be eating it 3 times a day for a week. - 2/6/10

    Yum! Added cilantro like some of the other posters. Might also add lime juice instead of red wine vinegar next time. Also will add some jalapeno for some kick. - 11/11/09

    Took this to a picnic and it was the hit of the party!! I added 1/4 c. green onions and only 1/4 c. green pepper. I also added 1/4 c. fat free feta and it was DELICIOUS! I could eat this every single day! - 7/16/07

    Love the beans and fresh veggies together. And, what better way to get in the protein needed on a hot summer's day. No actual cooking....Yay!!!!!Could even try variations using different vinegars or spices. - 7/10/07

    YUMMY and a great way to get your veggies and fiber into your daily intake! You can also use your favorite low cal/fat italian dressing with a packet of splenda if you like it a little sweeter in place of the vinegar and oil - 7/10/07

    I've made this from a similar recipe before --- it is fabulous! The only dif is a little splenda that gives it a sweet vinegary flavor --- but either way it's a crowd pleaser and it's just good!!! - 2/6/10

    I made this with balsamic vinegar and Wild Tree Basil oil. Excellent! Next time I'll get the canned beans instead of the dried ones. They don't taste the same, I prefer the canned beans. Oh well, I tried. - 1/4/10

    I'm going to try this. Sounds good. To ecnonmize I never buy canned beans; I buy only dry beans (Except for Bush's baked beans to add to my own baked bean recipe). To substitute the dry for the canned, I use one c, dry for 2 c. cooked; follow directions on the package for cooking. - 11/28/09

    This is our go-to summer recipe. Sometimes the beans used are changed.
    When I'm only making it for family, I freeze half of it before I put in the red wine vinegar and oil.
    I add this to a green salad or to soups to punch up the protein.     - 6/3/21

    This was fast and easy to put together, I didn't have olive oil or red beans instead added extra corn and a little more pepper as well as cut back on oil since I used canola oil. Still amazing and will become a staple on my monthly menus. - 5/26/14

    This is a great dish! I did alter it some. I used less OO, and added some banana peppers/juice that I had pickled with garlic. I also added a bit of Archer Farms pineapple peach salsa, a little Pace salsa and some Franks Red Hot sauce. Yum! I will definitely make this again! - 4/30/13

    I added some lemon juice, cilantro and I THINK extra vinegar. I could eat this every day. Brought it to a potluck and it was a huge hit. People kept asking me for the recipe. I even was able to use some beans the next day in a burrito.

    DELISH!!!     - 8/29/11

    This was pretty good. I brought it to a picnic but had more left over than I would have liked. I can't eat all of this by myself. :) I tried to use dried beans as much as possible to cut back on sodium and I even cut the salt in half. I even put some in a tortilla and ate it as a wrap. - 8/30/10

    Wow! This was a great recipe! I just recently starting trying different kinds of beans since canned baked beans was the limit of my bean experience all of my life. I have to say that I was a little nervous about the thought of that many different kinds of beans all at once but it was excellent. - 6/24/09
