Hellman's Italian Bean Salad

"I found this recipe many years ago on the back label of a Hellman's mayo jar stating that it was one of their most popular salads. It's a little twist on the usual Italian bean salad and I make it often during the summer. Preparation time does not include overnight chilling."

  1. Full of flavor and very easy. Just what I was looking for. Even better the next day!
     
  2. This was very flavorful, yet simple to make. I am a firm believer in the value of adding Good Seasons salad dressing mix to a recipe for great flavor (I add it to Buffalo wings, crudite dip, etc.) Anyway, the only thing I did different was to add the mayonnaise with the rest of the ingredients and then refrigerate.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
