This salad is delicious and very easy on the waistline. It would be great for barbecues and potlucks. You can make it in five minutes! We buy the tri-blend beans by the case from Kroger because they are so good and good for you. I always have two cans chilling in the fridge to make this salad. Enjoy my humble recipe!
