MIXED BEAN SALAD (hope to try more bean salads, this one is very nice) 2 cans 10 oz three bean mix, 1 10 oz each red kidney beans, baby lima, white beans. I have used butter beans and soy bean in leiu of the lima or white beans. 1/2 lb frozen green beans. 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup salad oil, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 tspn salt, 1 tspn dry mustard. Drain the canned beans, cook the frozen green beans, half the amoutn of time specified on packet. Mix all of the beans together in a large bowl. Mix the sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and mustard and pur over the beans. Mix well, cover and put in refrigerator to marinade for at least one hour. Over night is better. Before serving, drain the marinade off and serve separately. this is a perfect barbecue salad as are the others. Edie
