Introduction

This recipe is from Recipezaar. It is a "before" recipe
Recipe #118365
This isn't even remotely like the usual sweet and sour salad... this one has feta cheese, tomatoes and yes, three types of beans, in a light lemon juice vinaigrette. It's from one of those "bargain bin cookbooks" at a big chain bookstore and it makes a great vegetarian main-dish type salad. This recipe is from Recipezaar. It is a "before" recipe
