Easy to follow receive and came out delicious
Came out delicious! Added lots of salt and pepper to our liking. Yummmmm!
Tasts very bland
This was delicious. I made a few adjustments. I used Dijon mustard instead of yellow ( 4T), added finely diced red onion, added crushed red pepper flakes, and garnished w toasted almond slivers so they stayed crisp. Thank you Kardea! Summer go to side dish. Better the next day for sure!
I am going to buy everything needed for my own 2020 Mothers Day food fest, excited!
So different than the average dull 3 bean salad!!! I would have never thought of adding cranberries to 3 bean salad.
I did chop up 12 onion and sauce in 1 TBSP OLIVE oil, salt and pepper because I can’t digest raw onion. I also skipped the lima beans and added a can of garbonza beans instead.
Was fab-u-licious!!!!!

Delicious!
I saw this on the Food Network today at someone else’s house and couldn’t wait to get home to use my laptop to get it right. I have all the ingredients and looking forward to trying it. I really like the combinations in the dressing, a lot! My recipe called for way too much sugar. Thank you.
Yum!
Yuck. Not the 4 bean salad I know.
