4 Bean Salad
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This salad is an old summertime favorite of mine.
Use whatever type of cooked beans you like in this recipe. You’ll need about 4 pounds total. I like to pick out beans that have different colors and shapes, to provide interest. You can use your favorites. Sometimes if I don’t have garlic powder, I use minced garlic, or if not that, then a seasoned salt instead of the garlic-salt-pepper will do just fine. Onions vary in size- use about equal amounts green pepper to onion. I hope you enjoy!
Until next time-
