Bean Bonanza Salad

Here's a fiber filled salad with easily substituted ingredients perfect for summer picnics! I've reworked the traditional bean salad dressing to use less oil and add more flavour with the addition of balsamic vinegar. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, cut back on the Splenda as the balsamic vinegar adds some sweetness on it's own. Use whatever canned beans you have in the pantry or if you are feeling very industrious, cook the beans from dried. Enjoy!

How Do I Make Bean Bonanza Salad?

Here is how you make Bean Bonanza Salad:

Get out your largest mixing bowl, this makes 12 cups of bean salad! Drain the cans of beans, reserving some of the liquid for the dressing, and add into the bowl. Dice the onion, peppers & celery and add to the bean mixture; stir well to combine. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, white or cider vinegar, splenda, freshly ground pepper and dill weed. Add enough of the reserved bean liquid to the canola oil to make a total of 1 cup and add to the dressing mixture. Whisk together until emulsified. Add the dressing to the bean mixture and stir well to coat all of the vegetables. Cover and let marinade in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour, the longer you leave it the better. Stir occasionally to ensure all of the veggies are coated with dressing. Makes 24 1/2 cup servings.Number of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LEE2151.
