Marinated Bean Salad
"I found this recipe in a Quick Cooking cook book and revised it just a little to suit my family's taste. Hope you enjoy. Cook time is mostly chill time. It needs to be in the fridge long enough to chill completely. I do like to make mine the day before I intend to serve."

This was good, but I thought it needed something extra, so I added in some garlic powder, salt and black pepper, I also cut down the sugar a bit, and I am glad that I did as it would have been too sweet for our tastes. Thanks JQ!...Kitten -
A lovely crispy, crunchy side salad. One of the things that this salad has to its advantage is that the simplicity of the seasonings allows the wonderful flavor of the vegetables to stand out. Also, the red onion balances out the sweetness of the sugar (Splenda in my case). Moreover, it also pairs well with an assortment of main course dishes. For the life of me I couldn't find white corn, shoepeg or other, so I used yellow. Also chose to skip the pimento in favor of additional red peppers. For dinner, I served this with a simple grilled chicken after 4 hours of letting the brew sit. I've taken the leftovers and mixed in a can of tuna as a perfect lunch. Next time, I'm thinking that frozen green beans instead of canned as they taste a bit fresher and will be crispy like the other veggies. Thanks JQ! -
My aunt makes this every Thanksgiving and it is one of my favorites! I could sit down with the bowl and a spoon and be perfectly content. :)
