THREE BEAN SALAD FOR A CROWD
This is quick and delicious. Best made 2-3 days in advance of the party, so it's one less thing you have to do on the day of the party. I have cut down on the oil that is usually used for this salad, but it's not missed. I use Splenda instead of sugar, but you can substitute sugar if you prefer it.

"COULDN'T BE EASIER" THREE-BEAN SALAD
Perfect recipe for those who enjoy eating delicious food more than preparing it! Letting the frozen vegetables thaw instead of cooking them cuts down on the prep time and helps keep them crisp. Feel free to mix and match with different types of beans; I've also used garbanzo beans, white beans, black-eyed peas, and kidney beans in this recipe.
