I have been usin this recipe for years! It is a great vegetarian meal or side dish. I took out the lettuce completely, because in my opinion, this tastes even better a day or two after you make it (lettuce would wilt quickly). I also add a bunch of cilantro, which goes perfectly with the dressing. You can also omit whatever beans you do not like like and double up on the ones you do. I add only black and garbanzo beans. If you use the correct spices, you really do NOT need to add salt to this-it has tons of flavor.
