Ingredients

For the salad

1 (16 oz) can waxed beans, drained
1 (16 oz) can garbanzo or butter beans, drained
1 (8 oz) can black beans, drained
1 (8 oz) can kidney beans, drained
⅓ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup chopped green pepper

For the dressing

1 cup vinegar
¼ cup salad oil
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp celery seed
½ tsp dry mustard
1 tsp minced garlic

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all the beans, chopped onions, and green pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the beans.

🥄 Mixing gently helps to keep the beans intact, giving your salad a more appealing texture and presentation!

In a screw-top jar, combine the vinegar, oil, sugar, celery seed, dry mustard, and minced garlic. Seal the jar and shake it well until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

💡 For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to the dressing!

Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and stir lightly to combine.
Chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.

❄️ The longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes! Aim for at least four hours for the best results.

Variations

Add crunch: Toss in some diced cucumber or sliced radishes for an extra crunch! 🥒
Herb-infused: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to give your salad a fragrant twist. 🌿
Creamy option: Stir in a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream for a creamier dressing.
Make it spicy: Include diced jalapeños or a dash of hot pepper flakes to heat things up!

This salad is not just a dish but a celebration of flavors and textures! Enjoy it at your next picnic or family gathering! 🎉🥳
