We love 3 bean salad. This sounds delish. Thanks for all pf your recipes and hard work.
Love this salad! Made it this weekend and snacked on it for days. Instead of the oil dressing I used Skinny Girl zero point bought dressin so it’s a zero point salad for me. Would not hesitate to make for guests. Will make it often! Thanks!
So glad you liked it Paula!
Would it take too much away by removing the chick peas? We don’t care for them. Any suggestions for a substitute?
I think that would be fine. Just add more of one of the other items that you do like!
