Three Bean Salad

Recipe #133914 | 15 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Tangy and sweet, this has a little less sugar than other recipes. I plan to try this with splenda. Adapted from my More With Less Mennonite cookbook. Either canned or dried, cooked beans may be used. I chose my favorite beans, but many other kinds can be substituted.

I will cut the sugar down to 1/4 - 1/3 cup next time as I thought it was just a little too sweet. I added a can of yellow wax beans and 1/2 of a red pepper I had on hand. Colorful and delicious.

    I cut the amount of oil in half and replaced the sugar with Splenda. The sweet and sour balance was just wonderful and made a perfect dressing for this bean salad. I had some at 5 hour and again after it sat overnight. The later was definitely better as the red onions had released more of their flavor and mellowed into the rest of the dish. Yum. Thanks Kaarin.

    I use this dressing with any type of canned bean assortment. I make sure I rinse the canned beans well, especially the black beans and have thrown a can of kernel corn in too. I also add 2-3 TBSP chopped fresh parsley to the mix.
