Three Bean Salad

Three Bean Salad

1 large can green beans

1 small (16 oz) can wax beans

1 small (16 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed

1 celery stalk, chopped

1 small purple onion, chopped

1 small green pepper, chopped

1 ½ cup white vinegar

½ cup water

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Drain all beans well and place in a bowl. Add the celery, onion, and green pepper. Heat vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Heat to dissolve sugar, then cool. Stir into the beans and vegetables. Let stand in the refrigerator for 12 hours.

My Aunt Betty would make this salad for reunions or other family gatherings and it was something I would always reach for. My dad really liked this too and I remember on one occasion watching dad make it.
