    Wow...what a great recipe. I used fresh green and yellow wax beans that I blanched. Everyone loved it. Very flavorful, refreshing and light. This will definitely stay on my list of side dishes!!!

    It seems like a good idea but I changed a few things--I cut the sugar in half (its still on the sweet side, I switched red bell pepper for the green pepper and pimento and white beans for the butter beans (some people don't like butter/lima beans. I also switched tomato sauce for the tomato soup.

    This is the BEST salad. I made the recipe exactly as written and everyone loved it. It is a very large salad, so I had leftovers. My husband then had it EVERY DAY for one whole week for lunch! What recommendation could be better than that?? Great to bring to a potluck!

    Delicious. It makes a pile of it...so be prepared to share. The sweet and sour dressing is outstanding. I used only 1.5C sugar, so it was tart. Very good.

    Very good. However, I'm giving this a 4 because it is way to sweet for a savory dish. You can bake a cake with the amount of sugar it calls for. The next time I will cut the sugar in half.

    A family favorite! Had a request, and my recipe was a sloppy mess! So glad it is still available! I could eat this as my whole meal! Best ever!

    This recipe is fabulous! I reduced the sugar to 1 C and didn't add the pimentos because I forgot to purchase them Also doubled the amount of green beans.The tomato soup was a real surprise that I almost omitted. Don't, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I've made this salad twice this summer and it has been a hit. Even the kids love it!
    One of my friend's husband asked me how to make it and said it was the best bean salad he ever ate. You won't regret this one. Plus it's easy to keep the ingredients in your pantry.

    I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and the cider vinegar to 3/4 c. Leaving every other ingredient the same fixed the problem of being too sweet.

    I had really high hopes for this recipe since it got such great reviews, but I was pretty disappointed unfortunately. I found the marinade far too sweet. They tasted like candy-coated beans....and this is coming from a pregnant woman who has been eating nothing but sugary foods for the past seven months! I wanted to like it but didn't, and neither did my 18 month old nor my husband.
