Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad

I love the sweet and tangy flavors of vinegar and a bit of sugar. It is one of my favorites in making marinades, salad dressings, and anything I can think to add it to. The zip of the vinegar followed by the hint of sweetness is perfection.

Verdict: I love bean salad! I am not a big fan of anything other than green beans but I love this salad. It goes so well with most barbecued and grilled foods. Such a simple side that you can make in large batches for picnics and parties (when we can have those again!).

I love three bean salad! I never heard of four bean salad but I guess you just need to add one bean, lol.

Here where I live, it used to come in a jar and after years, it disappeared. Now it comes in a can and I don’t think it’s by the same company because it doesn’t taste as good. Maybe I should just start making my own.
