Three-Bean Salad (Edamame, Black Beans & Black-Eyed Peas) image

This is a delicious, easy, and fresh-tasting update on a classic salad I adapted from "Gourmet Magazine" (March 2007). It's a great side dish that would compliment most meats and fish. If you want this as a main dish, add some crumbled feta. Recipe requires at least 10 minutes marinating time (and more is even better). It's a great do-ahead or single person recipe as it makes great leftovers!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can of black beans and a can of black-eyed peas in my pantry, so this is a quick and easy side dish that I can make anytime.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out watery. I think I might have overcooked the beans.

This salad is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

I'm allergic to black-eyed peas. Can I substitute another type of bean?

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. The flavors meld together and it tastes even better the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this salad changed my mind! The edamame, black beans, and black-eyed peas are all cooked perfectly and the dressing is so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
