Delicious! I used black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and garbanzo beans. I also added some chopped red onion and fresh cilantro.

I made this salad exactly as the recipe said, but it was too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs and crumbled bacon.

Not bad for a quick and easy salad. I would add some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This salad is so refreshing and delicious. I love the combination of beans, corn, tomatoes, and onion. The dressing is also really good.

I made this salad for a potluck, and it was a huge hit! I had to give out the recipe to several people. I love that it's so easy to make and that you can customize it with your favorite beans and vegetables.

This salad is the perfect side dish for any grilled or roasted meat. I used canned beans, but I'm sure fresh beans would be even better.

I have to say this four-bean salad is now my favorite salad recipe. The flavors, textures, and colors are just perfect. I've made it countless times already, and my family just loves it!
