One of my favorites. I do admit, I like at least a little bit of garbanzo/chickpea in this salad, along with the normal ingredients suggested here. Good stuff!!
Can I use balsamic vinegar and EVOO?
Hey there Stephanie, I am not a fan of salads in fact I can it rabbit food but I love green beans and kidney beans and this recipe of yours looks easy and tasty. Thanks gonna have to give it a try soon.
Easy enough…
i Alway's heat the dressing to melt the sugar.
What? vegetable oil? sugar?
I liked your recipe the best and I know that this question is just a little late but can you use 4 beans? 5? Serious question! I LOVE 3 bean salad but can’t even find the canned stuff so I’m gunna make it! Lol also what beans would NOT work due to possible breakdown or mushing? I’m just spitballing here but what about corn or peas? Pintos? Limas? Also do you think a canned mix like Rotel be good to add?
Sorry for the annoying rambling post but I’m a guy learning that I love to cook so except what I gleaned from my moms huge attempt to teach me not much retained so I’m figuring it all out. Thank you
except for the red beans
Thank you! Been wanting to make this, not always buy it.
Served at many family reunions and church dinners.
I love Three Bean Salad
All that vegetable oil, vinegar and sugar to just three cans of beans is crazy.
This is a great every day no nonsense recipe for beginners or just for those of us who like a classic 3 bean salad. I love to have it on hand for just a quick snack. I am not a fan of wax beans so I substitute garbanzo beans. I have been know to throw in a can of whole beets that are halved (they turn into pickled beets that I love).
Looks very delicious and the way video is straight to the point easy to understand very detailed information and a soothing voice to listen to. Thank you for sharing and more videos please
NO celery or onion! Sorry, you made it just fine, I prefer the basics! Thanks for this video.
I’m bringing this salad to a picnic tomorrow.
I have been maried almost 60 years and this is so close to the old bean salad, my 60 year old Better Homes Cook Book is very close except no celery or celery seed. i will up grade the oil, use red onions, and honey for sweet. Thank You for this great old classic
,
Can I use Stevia instead of white sugar ?
Your looks great! You left out those disgusting chick peas!
I was looking for these! I haven't eaten this since I was born in the 90's LOL and had a craving out of nowhere. I will make this tomorrow. thank you!1
