Simple Bean Salad Recipe

A while back we had a birthday party in State College, PA for my mother-in-law. Although my sister-in-law Judy put out another fabulous spread, she asked some family members to bring one of their favorite dishes.

Cousin Vicki brought a bean salad recipe that was so good everyone had to have the recipe. I'm not sure where she found it but it was tasty so I wanted to share it with everyone. This is a perfect time of year to serve a bean salad as a side at any barbecue.

Lots of ingredients but putting it together couldn't be easier and by all means experiment by substituting fresh beans and whatever ingredients you have on hand.

Yum... I make a variation of this and it's always a hit, even with people who aren't keen on beans. I add chopped fresh mint leaves too - the combination of cilantro and mint is SOO good.

Now that looks seriously delicious.

It's cold here in Sydney, Australia but I think I could have this at any time of the year. The colours look so bright and warming all on their own!

I'm definitely going to try this one next week.

Thanks for sharing.
