Hearty Bean Salad image

I discovered this salad years ago when I was a teenager in a 4-H club. After I was married, I used the recipe as a base and added different beans and water chestnuts for more crunch. The dressing is most important, getting the right balance between the sweet and the sour.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but this salad was surprisingly good. The dressing is really what makes it. I'll definitely be making this again.

The dressing is a bit too vinegary for my taste, but otherwise this salad is delicious. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less vinegar in the dressing next time.
