Best Low Sugar Three Bean Salad Recipes

MY THREE BEAN SALAD-NO SUGAR

My Three Bean Salad-No Sugar image

I wasn't going to post this recipe because there are so many bean salad recipes out there, but my search for one similar to this came up blank. This is more fresh and less sweet than most of the three bean salads I found. Also, I use garbanzo beans instead of the usual wax beans. Did not include time to marinate since this can be eaten right away, but is much better a few hours or a day later.

LOW SUGAR THREE BEAN SALAD

Can't tell you how good this is and how easy it is to prepare. Most green bean salads are loaded with sugar, but this only has one tablespoon. The addition of green onions and garlic are great flavor enhancers.
