Four Bean Salad is a refreshing side dish for those hot summer nights!
Bean salad, a colorful mix of canned beans mixed with a spicy dressing, is a great summer side dish or a favorite to share!
This traditional bean salad is a light and easy side dish that can be prepared ahead of time. It’s ideal for any barbecue or meal.
This dressing is so simple and adaptable; if you want it to be less spicy, simply add more sugar. I used canned green beans, but fresh green beans are also an option. Do this on the weekend and you’ll be able to enjoy it for the rest of the week! The longer you sit, the better it gets.
