Three Bean Salad (Low-Fat) image

The layering of different types of vinegars gives a complex taste in this low-fat, healthy salad. The prep time does not include marinating time, so allow time for that.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch the next day.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have used too much dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but this salad was surprisingly good. The dressing really brings all the flavors together.
