3 Bean Pasta Salad
I love bean salad and pasta salad, so I decided to create a salad that is the best of both!
Drain cans of beans and place beans in a bowl. Add onion and green pepper. Blend together remaining 3 ingredients. Combine with bean mixture and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. Serves 10.
This is a nice summer salad. It is easy to prepare the day before a picnic.

Put all the ingredients other than vinegar and oil into a mixing bowl and stir. Then add vinegar and oil and toss lightly. Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors mix together. Pour excessive juices off the salad before serving.

This is one that my mom really likes. I'm honestly not real big on it because I don't care much for beans, unless they are baked or green! :) However, I do know many people do like this recipe and I hope you will, too.
Ingredients:
1 can garbanzos, drained (15oz.)
1 can pinto beans, drained (15oz.)
1 can cut green beans (16oz.)
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup salad oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Directions:
Turn garbanzos and pinto beans into a colander and wash thoroughly. Then add well drained green beans. Combine beans with onions and green pepper. Combine remaining ingredients and bring just to a boil. When completely chilled, pour over vegetables and toss lightly. The longer this stands the better it tastes. Stir it up from the bottom of the bowl.

I am looking for a 3 Bean Italian salad, I had it while in the hospital and it tasted fantastic. I know hospital food usually doesn't taste good, but this was! I know it had white beans (navy or great northern) and pimentos and a great dressing, the rest I don't remember. Anyone have a real good one?

SAUCE:
250 ml vinegar 200 ml salad oil 100 g (125 ml) white sugar 37,5 ml dried basil
Peel and grate onion. Halve greenpepper, remove pips and cut up. Drain butterbeans and cut greenbeans. Mix together lightly the onion, greenpepper, butterbeans, cut greenbeans and baked beans. Mix together the vinegar, salad oil, white sugar and basil. Add the bean mix to this mixture. Dish into glass jars and keep refrigerated.
I have a large jar of bean salad which was bought at Costco. I'm not practically fond of it (my husband bought it), but if anyone has any ideas on how to dress it up, please share. Thank you.
