FOUR-BEAN SALAD



Four-Bean Salad image

"MY MOTHER gave me this recipe. It was actually a three-bean salad, but I added the garbanzo beans (which are also know as chick peas). It goes over big at potlucks because it's not too sweet and not too sour. Be careful to get the vinegar and sugar mixture just right-no guessing on the amounts!"

3 OR 4 BEAN SALAD



3 or 4 Bean Salad image

This is super simple and easy to make! Not too vinegary and not too sweet!! Time is less than 10 minutes to throw together!

Provided by Mishkapett

Categories     Beans

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 ounce) can yellow wax beans, french style
1 (14 ounce) can green beans, french style
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans
1 (15 ounce) can butter beans (I recommend!) (optional)
1 medium onion, sliced paper thin
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon celery salt

Steps:

  • Combine the beans and onion in a glass bowl.
  • Pour the oil, vinegar, sugar and celery salt into a saucepan and bring to a boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve.
  • Pour the vinegar mix over the beans and onions in the bowl and mix well.
  • Allow to cool for 30 minutes then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • This salad is best after about 6 hours, but is still good if you want to use it right away.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned beans. Look for beans that are firm and not mushy. You can also use dried beans, but they will need to be soaked and cooked before using.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly before using. This will help to remove any excess starch and salt.
  • Use a variety of beans in your salad. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture.
  • Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the salad. This will help to make the salad more nutritious and flavorful.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing. This will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Bean salad is a great make-ahead dish.

Conclusion:

Three or four bean salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and protein. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give three or four bean salad a try.
