THREE BEAN SALAD
This three bean salad is a great dish to take to potlucks and you can make it ahead of time. It also keeps well for several days in the refrigerator. It is so easy to make and goes with just about any main dish you have for a meal. This recipe could easily be doubled if making for a gathering or large crowd. It is wonderful for a buffet table or any holiday meal, too. You might also like to check out our recipe for seven layer vegetable salad.
