My mom used to make a three bean salad that was a favorite around the house. A friend asked me to bring the recipe, and since I was typing it out anyway, I thought I'd share it over here, too!
Three Bean Salad
Salad
2 cans of yellow beans, drained
2 cans of green beans, drained
2 cans of kidney beans, drained
1 red and / or green pepper, cleaned, rinsed, and sliced
1 red onion, sliced and salted (Mom used a regular Vidalia onion, but I think a red one is prettier)
Place above ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
Dressing (or "juice" as Mom called it)
2 cups of sugar (I use Splenda™ instead so it is more diabetic friendly)
2 cups of apple cider vinegar
2 cups of water
2 capfulls of extra virgin olive oil (Mom used Vegetable oil, but I prefer olive oil)
Mix the above ingredients well in a bowl. Taste and add more Splenda™ if it isn't sweet enough for you. Pour over the bean mixture. Place in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least six hours.
This is a great summertime dish. I hadn't even considered it, but I do like 3 bean salad. I like to put it on lettuce as a matter of fact!
