This is one of those recipes you'd prepare and share with everyone, cuz it makes so much. It's great for family reunions, picnics out with the family, or just at home. It does make ALOT! Can be cut down by half-ish. Read more If there is a type of bean that you prefer you can use that instead of any of these. And if where you live the cans are 16oz and not the 15oz, no matter, it all works for this recipe. You can also add in a drained can of cut green beans too, thou I wouldn’t use the French cut ones , I think they are to….delicate….. for this recipe in my opinion. But feel free to try it if you so wish. The time does not include the chilling time of the salad. See less
