My Four Bean Salad Recipes

4 BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix dressing add all beans drained and rinced.
• refrigerate toss every once in a while, refrigerate at least overnight.

FOUR-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine all of the beans, green pepper and onions. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Pour over bean mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight, stirring several times. Serve with a slotted spoon.

COLORFUL FOUR BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the white sugar, vinegar, and vegetable oil. Stir in the celery, green pepper, red onion and pimentos. Pour the green beans, wax beans, lima beans and kidney beans into a colander, and rinse under cold water. Let drain for a few minutes, then stir into the bowl with the rest of the salad. Store in a large jar in the refrigerator, and shake or turn occasionally for 1 day to marinate. If you do not have a sealed container, simply stir the salad every few hours. This keeps for about a week, but will be gone sooner.

KIDNEY BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, cool, peel, and chop.
• In a bowl, mix the hard-cooked eggs, kidney beans, onion, celery, relish, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.

FINALLY FOUND FOUR BEAN SALAD

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.
