A Throwback Salad! Three Bean Salad

2:36 AM
Three Bean Salad, a throwback salad from the 50s.  It is a great salad for picnics, cookouts, and at any family gatherings, it will serve a large crowd. 


Two weeks ago I shared a favorite retro recipe for Southern Stuffed Cabbage Rolls.  Today I am sharing another retro recipe and a summer favorite.  This salad can go anywhere.   

There are so many variations of this salad, but this one is the classic version.

It is made with green and yellow beans, kidney beans, and purple onion with a tangy dressing.  

The secret to the amazing balance of taste is letting the salad sit in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight.  All the flavors just come together like magic.


I love to keep this salad in the refrigerator for a quick lunch or a quick snack.  

Hope you get to make this Three Bean Salad soon, so refreshing and delicious.  

Enjoy!
