FINALLY FOUND FOUR BEAN SALAD
I lost this recipe and I found it just this morning, while going through a bunch of old papers. I'm so HAPPY! I'm posting it immediately so it won't get lost again! I got this from a former co-worker, who had it at a potluck and liked it so much she got the recipe, and brought me a copy since she knew how much I loved to cook. I changed it up a bit, making big changes to the dressing and adding a bit to the actual salad components. This is a little on the sweet side, admittedly, but the sugar can be cut back to suit tastes. This is my favourite and I'm so glad I found it!

Steps:
- Drain a 19-oz tin of chick peas (garbanzo beans), rinse well, then drain again; place in a large mixing bowl.
- Drain a 14-oz tin of green beans and a 14-oz tin of wax beans well and then add to bowl.
- Drain a 19-oz tin of red kidney beans, rinse well then drain again; add to bowl.
- Dice up a coloured bell pepper (red, orange or yellow, I don't use green as I don't like them much) and add to beans.
- Peel a small red onion and slice into very thin strips and add to bowl.
- Lastly, add about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh flatleaf parsley.
- Now make dressing: in a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegars, oil, sugar (I use a scant 1/2 cup), minced fresh garlic, worcestershire, and salt and pepper.
- Pour dressing over salad ingredients and toss.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally (before serving, taste, as it may need more salt).
- When ready, spoon bean salad into a serving bowl using a slotted spoon, to drain off most of the dressing before serving.
