GRANDMA'S SWEET AND TANGY BEAN SALAD



Grandma's Sweet and Tangy Bean Salad image

I've never been a huge bean salad fan, due to the textures primarily. However, this bean salad my grandmother and mother passed along is great because it adds a good crunchiness with cucumbers, green peppers, onion, and celery!

TANGY FOUR BEAN SALAD

This is my variation on all the bean salads out there. I found using salad oil and white vinegar to be too bland for my tastes, yet I didn't want a complicated salad full of herbs. This is my creation! This recipe is suitable for diabetics or low-carbers if you use the Splenda. There is no discernable taste difference between using Splenda or using sugar. I hope everyone who tries it enjoys it.

TANGY SOUTHWESTERN BEAN SALAD



Tangy Southwestern Bean Salad image

This is one of my aunt's staple recipes. She is a wonderful cook known for knack for "fresh tasting" food - this recipe is exactly that. It is always a big hit at our family functions. There is quite a bit of room for personalization with the herbs...just add what you like and how ever much you'd like. I love cilantro and dill, so I am pretty generous with both, but personally I don't even think it needs the parsley. It's completely up to you. Also, you will have extra dressing, but trust me its great in a plain old green salad too! One more recommendation...make this a day or two before you plan on serving it, if possible. Although it's great right away, this is definitely one of those dishes that gets better over a little time. Cook time does not include the resting time for the salad dressing.
