Colorful Four Bean Salad
This is a very tasty and easy bean salad made with four kinds of beans, red onion, and celery in a vinegar dressing. My friend next door gave it to me years ago.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 stalks celery chopped
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1 4 ounce jar pimento peppers, drained and chopped
- 1 14 ounce can cut green beans
- 1 14.5 ounce can yellow wax beans
- 1 15 ounce can lima beans
- 1 15 ounce can dark red kidney beans
Instructions
- 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.
