Mom's Bean Salad

We love this salad. Nothing fancy or complicated. Best after it sits overnight. This also goes well with BBQ, especially smoked ribs with a spicy sauce such as Texas Rib Ranger's Hot. The vinegar really offsets the heat from the sauce.

This recipe is from my mom.

1 pound frozen green beans, cooked per package instructions
1 can wax beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 - 1 cup sliced carrots, cooked
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup wine vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Use a whisk to combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper into a dressing.

In a large bowl, combine the vegetables and then add the dressing.

Cool in fridge overnight, stirring often.

We made this a few days ago and had it tonight with spicy chili turkey dogs and a pickle slice.
