This flavorful four canned bean salad
is perfect for a cookout, family reunion,
potluck supper, or summer gathering.
Use the beans that I do in the recipe
or add your own favorite canned varieties.

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 scant teaspoon celery salt
1/2 extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 red wine vinegar
1/2 cup tarragon vinegar, or substitute cider vinegar
1 (15 to 16 ounces) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 to 16 ounces) cans green beans, drained
1 (15 to 16 ounces) can yellow wax beans, drained
1 (15 to 16 ounces) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 small jar pimientos, drained, about 2 tablespoons
1/2 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Directions:
Combine sugar, celery salt, olive oil
and vinegars in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30 seconds.
Combine drained beans in a large bowl;
add pimiento and sliced onion.
Toss to blend ingredients.
Pour dressing over beans and let marinate
in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
