I have an Italian recipe from my Grandmother.
1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 diced garlic clove(more if you like it)
2 dill pickles diced
1/4-1/2 cup Hellmans mayo
This recipe is pretty much all about how much you like the ingredients. More or less of all of it. When people hear they think yuck, then it quickly becomes a hit. It's best to let it sit and soak up flavors. You can omit the garlic and add onion if you like.

RE: Kidney Bean Salad
Our family recipe had the hard-cooked egg and used thin mayo instead of sugar, oil and vinegar. It also had a little grated onion, which I think really makes it good. I discovered that this was made popular during WWII when meat was in shorter supply as an alternative source of protein. (08/01/2009)

My Mama used to make this quite often in the summertime. She used about the same recipe as you offered. However she used to dice up a boiled egg into the mix, and sometimes a chopped bell pepper. If she was out of sweet pickle relish, she would dice up a dill pickle instead. We enjoyed this with a meatless meal of fresh green beans, yellow crook necked squash, fresh tomato slices, and sliced cucumbers. Yum ! Makes me hungry.
