My Top Tip for Making Three Bean Salad
You can usually find canned wax beans next to the green beans at the grocery store. If you can’t find them, substitute more green beans or lima beans.
How to Make Marinated Three Bean Salad
- Prepare your salad ingredients by opening and draining the three cans of beans. Then chop the celery, green pepper, and yellow onion into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained beans and chopped celery, green pepper, and onion.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the bean mixture. Then, cover and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.
- Can be served cold or at room temperature.
Storage Information
Refrigerate. The bean salad will keep in the fridge for up to one week. It’ll get even more flavor as it sits!
Please note that there will be a fair amount of marinating liquid that doesn’t get absorbed into the beans. That’s ok! Just drain some off before serving.
Do not freeze this dish. The texture of the beans will be altered after freezing/thawing.
