Picnic Zucchini Bean Salad
"A twist to the Kidney Bean salad my mother made in the 1940's. It also helps use up those extra zucchini. Makes a colorful salad and is easy to take to the Church Social or a special picnic. Chill time is not included in the prep time."

I am remiss in adding my praises for this great salad. I had to reprint my recipe since I have made it so often my page was full of oil and vinegar, so here i am reprinting. We love this salad....sure beats the ole lettuce routine. I use red and green peppers and also use summer squash. I also add splends to the mix....we like sweet sour in our house. This is indeed a keeper....thanks sherryinmo. -
I like make ahead dishes and this was very easy too. The colorful salad also makes a nice presentation. Unfortunately, we thought it lacked any real flavor or taste. Although we could taste the salt. -
This is a great summer salad. I took it to a family gathering and it was the first empty bowl on the table. The different colors make for a beautiful presentation. I did make some variations to it. My garden has started producing lots of fresh vegetables. Because of that I added some additional ingredients. I doubled the zucchini. I added one large yellow squash and about 12 cherry tomatoes, halved. I did go ahead and triple the last four ingredients since I had added so much more in the way of vegetables. As long as my garden is producing, this will be a regular dish at our table.

<p>Hello to all you great chefs out there from around the world. <br /> <br />I live in the Missouri Ozarks where good down home food and eating is what it is all about. <br /> <br />Hubby and I use to love to travel around the country, we are not able to do that anymore. <br /> <br />Love the times my family can all get together. Love going to flea markets and garage sales to scout out whatever I am collecting at the time. I love old pottery, crystal vases, fun picture frames, fabric, gardening. We will be doing container gardening only this year due to a decline in health. Plan on several kinds of tomatoes and pepper. Love flowers and houseplants. <br /> <br />I love my digital camera, and hope to find the recipes of the pictures I have already taken. I don't have a favorite cookbook, unless it is the one in my hand at the moment. They are all like special friends. We love our furbaby Abbey. She keeps us on track. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
