FOUR-BEAN SALAD



Four-Bean Salad image

"MY MOTHER gave me this recipe. It was actually a three-bean salad, but I added the garbanzo beans (which are also know as chick peas). It goes over big at potlucks because it's not too sweet and not too sour. Be careful to get the vinegar and sugar mixture just right-no guessing on the amounts!"

MARINATED 4 BEAN SALAD



Marinated 4 Bean Salad image

Yep, another bean salad recipe. This one is a bit different with its marinade ingredients. It's my mom's favorite for every get-together. It's also great for potlucks and picnics. I always come home with an empty bowl. Prepare ahead of time to let the flavors meld for 24 hours, then drain off the marinade juices. (Marinating time is not included in prep time listed.) It's soooo good!
