Three Bean Salad ...p31

Memories of dinners at Grandma Alma's and Aunt Bernice's flooded in as I made this cold, colorful salad.  And as a kid, I remember not liking it.  My, how we change.  Now I find it so refreshing, I can't imagine turning my nose up to it.  Though if your kids do, it may be in their GENES.

Truly, they may have two bitter alleles opposed to just one.  CHECK IT OUT !

Might make a nice science experiment in your multiple-kid households, especially for my home-schooled friends.  Who's got the extra bitter allele? 


Hardy Appetit!

THREE BEAN SALAD

1 can kidney beans
1 can cut green beans
1 can wax beans
1/2 c vinegar
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 c oil
3/4 c sugar

Drain all beans, add green pepper & onion.  Mix oil, vinegar, sugar with a dash of salt & pepper and pour over beans.  Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend.
