Hi Donna,

What you described above was a pre-surgery salad that I used to make all of the time. Once I get back onto solids I will definately be mixing up a cold bean salad and I plan on using Fat Free Kraft Italian dressing.

I use Red Kidney Beans - Garbanzo Beans (Chick Peas), Black Beans, Cooked Green Beans, sliced Spanish Onion. I then add the dressing and let it sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving. Give it a stir once or twice while it is chilling.

I have also added Quinoa to this salad for an extra kick of nutrition.

I'm used to the canned sweet three bean salad they sell in the supermarket, but no more. I do be=asically what you do, but I add a pack or two of Equal to sweeten it up. I hope it doesn't gross anyone out!
