While I have made bean salads before, I had never looked up actual recipes; I had always improvised. However, because I am in love with the Yummly website, I thought I would see what they suggested. This triple bean salad is a very simple, yet tasty, recipe that is vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly.
