MARINATED VEGETABLE AND BEAN SALAD



Marinated Vegetable and Bean Salad image

This recipe was inpired by a salad dressing recipe that I made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag, recipe #372633 - I tagged the dressing, but had no lettuce, so I came up with a salad to go with it. It turned out fantastic, so I'm posting it here. Cook time does not include overnight marinade time. Yes, it makes alot, but it's easily scaled down. Note that for easier measuring, 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup.
