Old fashioned 3-bean salad - but of course my mother had to add a 4th bean...
1 can kidney beans -- rinsed and drained
1 can wax beans -- drained
1 can green beans -- drained
1 can garbanzo beans -- drained
1 medium green pepper -- sliced thin
1 medium onion -- sliced thin
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Arrange beans in layers, starting with kidney beans. Place peppers and onions on top. Mix together rest of ingredients and drizzle on salad. Chill thoroughly. Mix occasionally.
