Katie Koziolek of Hartland, Minnesota adds garlic to an old favorite and prefers a not-so-sweet dressing. "Since I freeze some of my homegrown green and wax beans, we can enjoy this salad year-round," she notes.

This salad is also very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. For example, I like to add a bit of chopped red onion for extra flavor.

I love the addition of the bell peppers and corn to this salad. It gives it a nice crunch and sweetness.

This three bean salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a few cans of beans in my pantry, so it's easy to throw together a batch of this salad when I need a quick and healthy side dish.

I made this salad for a backyard barbecue last weekend and it was a hit! Everyone loved the combination of beans, corn, and bell peppers.
