I was gonna suggest a Three Bean Salad, with black, kidney, and white beans (cannellini). I found a great salad dressing/marinade from Wish Bone called Bountifuls, and their Santa Fe dressing mixed with the beans and some red onion is vey tasty. I think I got the recipe off the Wish Bone website. I made a Corn and Black Bean salad the other night, too, and it was good. I think I got that recipe on allrecipes.com
Ya know...that sounds good, too. And also cheap and easy...and doesn’t involve having to boil water in hot weather.
Do you just use a can of each?
If Mom ever made three bean salad, she put wax beans and/or green beans in, as I recall, rather than the white beans. So...could do that, too. Probably should make it Friday so it can sit overnight, if I do that.
