Three Bean Salad


Front of card
Back of Card

After trying a few sweet recipes, I thought I'd try a vegetable side. My aunt makes a three bean salad so I thought I'd give it a shot. Although this one was similar, it was a little different. Next time I make it, I will probably cut back on the amount of oil and use whole green beans instead of the french cut style. Also, I couldn't find 1 pound cans of anything. They were all just under a pound. 

If anyone knows who Mari Hooley is, please let me know!

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Three Bean Salad
serves 10 
From the Kitchen of Mari Hooley

1 - 1 pound can French cut green beans
1 - 1 pound can yellow wax beans
1 - pound can red kidney beans
½ cup minced green pepper
½ cup minced onion
½ cup cider vinegar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
⅓ cup oil

Day before, if desired: 
Drain beans; place in glass bowl.
Add: green pepper and onion
Mix: oil and vinegar with sugar, salt and pepper.
Pour over bean mixture; toss.
Refrigerate, covered until served.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
