TANGY FOUR BEAN SALAD



Tangy Four Bean Salad image

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.

MOM'S TANGY BEAN SALAD

Great for bringing to dinner parties with vegetarians! Can also be made with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Also, try subbing in cucumber (or just adding it). I use Unico bean medley, but any beans you like will work!
