Recipe: Three Bean Salad

This recipe for Three Bean Salad is another American classic salad. Most recipes are virtually the same… some differences in beans and types of vinegar but for the most part they are all very similar. You can either use cut yellow beans or cannelloni beans.

This one is one I’ve had in my file for years… I don’t know why I don’t make it more often… it is delicious… a terrific addition to any menu. It also multiplies out easily for large crowds…. Quick and easy… what could be better?

This recipe makes about 12 servings.
