"I have been in search of a bean salad that was offered in a supermarket salad bar adjacent to my old work place that I used to frequent. I tried many a recipe as well as trying other bean salads at other supermarkets and none compared. So I decided to wing it on my own and indeed I was able to duplicate a clone-like brother of my fondest bean salad. This salad not only is a great accompaniment to a lettuce salad by it also makes a great side dish for meats and fish, not to mention a tasty scooping condiment for tortilla chips. I hope you and yours love it as much as we do!"
