COLD BEAN SALAD



Cold Bean Salad image

Ann Mulford's recipe for Two-Bean Salad doesn't disappoint. The Lincolnville, Maine, reader says, "This mixed salad sure is a winner. I make it a day or so ahead of time and it marinates in the refrigerator. It's simple, just stir every 12 hours." She adds, "And leftovers are great over rice or noodles."

Great for a cookout. Best if made the day before and refrigerated so the flavors combine. You can lighten up the recipe by substituting the sugar for 1 1/2 times it's amount of Splenda.

EASY COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD



Easy Cold Green Bean Salad image

What makes this cold green bean salad so good is that the beans marinate while they are still warm--that way the beans soak up the vinaigrette and become more flavorful.
