Ingredients
- ◾15 oz can green beans
- ◾15 oz can yellow or wax beans
- ◾15 oz can kidney beans
- ◾1 onion, sliced
- ◾3/4 cup vinegar
- ◾1/4 cup oil
- ◾3/4 cup brown sugar
- ◾pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
First drain and rinse all of the canned beans. I do this by dumping them all into a colander and running cold water over them. After draining off the rinse water, transfer the beans to a large bowl. Add the thinly sliced onions. Meanwhile, in a quart sized saucepan combine the vinegar, oil and sugar. Bring it to a boil on the stove. Remove it immediately, and pour it over the beans and onions. Add a bit of pepper if you like. Chill and serve. This recipe serves about 12 people. It keeps for several weeks in the fridge, so serve it once a week for a month if desired. It is also great for picnics because it can’t go bad in the sun like mayonnaise based salads can.
To make a Vegetarian Main Dish Salad, you can replace the yellow wax beans with canned Chickpeas or Black Beans.
