This protein-filled dish could be served as a colorful side dish or a meatless main entree. When you make it, double the recipe because it will be gone in a flash! The basmati rice add a unique flavor and the dressing gives it a bit of a tang. -Janelle Lee, Appleton, Wisconsin

ELAINE'S CRAZY QUILT BEAN SALAD (CIRCA 1965)



Elaine's Crazy Quilt Bean Salad (circa 1965) image

This is a delicious recipe. It is not sweet like the ones your get in the deli.This is the original recipe from 1965l It calls for 398 ml (15 oz). cans of beans. I sometimes substitute garbanzo beans for the lima beans. As long as you have a total of 4 cans of beans, you can substitute any canned beans you like. This is a good, balanced and healthy recipe.
