I liked this a lot -- with the garlic dressing on the same page -- really nice for a summer side dish at a picnic or barbecue. Definitely needs that 24 hours in the fridge before serving for the flavors to soften and blend.

This is my favorite bean salad. I've made it many, many times, dating back more than 15 years ago. I prepared it last week, and it tasted as good as the first time I made it.
This recipe calls for a variety of bean types, including garbanzos, red and white kidney beans, baby limas, black eyed peas, and fresh green beans. As @Loretta says, its easy to make - the beans are combined with scallions, parsley, and garlic dressing. The wonderfully garlic flavor is just perfect. I'm generally not a fan of bean salads, but this one is perfection. To my amazement, my 13 yr old daughter also loved it (but not the green beans).
Have fresh green beans? Give it a try.
And I should note that I use whatever combination of beans I have on hand, although the suggested types are wonderful.
