TANGY FOUR BEAN SALAD
This is my variation on all the bean salads out there. I found using salad oil and white vinegar to be too bland for my tastes, yet I didn't want a complicated salad full of herbs. This is my creation! This recipe is suitable for diabetics or low-carbers if you use the Splenda. There is no discernable taste difference between using Splenda or using sugar. I hope everyone who tries it enjoys it.

FOUR-BEAN SALAD
"MY MOTHER gave me this recipe. It was actually a three-bean salad, but I added the garbanzo beans (which are also know as chick peas). It goes over big at potlucks because it's not too sweet and not too sour. Be careful to get the vinegar and sugar mixture just right-no guessing on the amounts!"

TANGY SOUTHWESTERN BEAN SALAD
This is one of my aunt's staple recipes. She is a wonderful cook known for knack for "fresh tasting" food - this recipe is exactly that. It is always a big hit at our family functions. There is quite a bit of room for personalization with the herbs...just add what you like and how ever much you'd like. I love cilantro and dill, so I am pretty generous with both, but personally I don't even think it needs the parsley. It's completely up to you. Also, you will have extra dressing, but trust me its great in a plain old green salad too! One more recommendation...make this a day or two before you plan on serving it, if possible. Although it's great right away, this is definitely one of those dishes that gets better over a little time. Cook time does not include the resting time for the salad dressing.
