Just found your site tonight looking for a bean salad. This was really simple to make and so delicious - looking forward to my lunch tomorrow!

Really enjoyed the easy bean salad.  We shall be following you closely from now on having just discovered your page.

This was really delicious. I left out the capers since we didn't have any but used kidney, chickpea, and white cannellini beans. My husband really enjoyed it and we both had seconds. Excellent blend of flavors.

This was so good! I didn’t have a cucumber so I cut up 2 kohlrabi bulbs for the crunch. I used black, garbanzo and Jacobs cattle beans. My 4 year old also ate some which is always a plus!

Easy, flavor-packed green beans, prepared Greek-style with a tasty citrus and dill dressing, feta, and olives 

Greek Green Bean Salad 

Here's how to make the best three bean salad recipe: a fresh spin on Grandma's! It's easy to throw together for picnics and potlucks. 

Classic Bean Salad (Better Than Grandma's!) 

kidney beans

white beans or pinto beans

green beans

wax beans (or another 15-ounce can green beans)

white onion

onion

curly parsley (or Italian parsley)

white vinegar*

olive oil

sugar

dill and garlic powder

salt

Thinly slice the onions into slivers (go to minute 1:40 of this How to Cut an Onion video to see how!). Finely chop the parsley. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, dill, garlic, powder, and kosher salt. Add the beans, onions and parsley and stir until coated. You can eat immediately, but for best results refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the salad to marinate. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 5 days.

love and have forgotten this recipe, but thank you for sharing it and reminding me since it fits my veg-legume centric diet, much appreciated

Very tasty.  I added fresh mint and dill.  Substituted 1 tbp of agave for the sweetner.  thanks!

Lovely, easy dish!  Next time I will omit the cucumber because it adds too  much water to the dish when you set it aside to blend the flavor and the dressing gets quite diluted; I'll replace it with some celery for crunch, and red bell peppers for color.

My sister-in-law made this recipe for dinner tonight. It was delicious! It had such a nice fresh, bright flavor.

First time I Made the bean salad exactly as the recipe stated.  Thought it was delicious!   Second time I made it I used half balsamic vinegar and half white vinegar to up the flavor a bit.  Also added shredded carrots for color and crunch.  Preferred the additional flavor and crunch of these changes.

I tried your 3 bean salad today &amp; it was fantastic.  I did go through the comments &amp; added a bit of garlic, some lime juice &amp; fresh dill &amp; mint to the mix.  It was so fresh tasting.   I try to find things for my 91 year old mom to eat as she gets nauseous from most foods &amp; has a limited diet. She loved it!  I will add to our rotation. Thank you for your lovely recipe.
