Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad
Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad is an old-fashioned potluck favorite that you probably remember your grandmother making. Beans, celery, red onion, and pimentos are marinated in a sweet and tangy dressing. This is such a delicious bean salad recipe.
Make-Ahead Recipe
Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad is best made a day or two or even three in advance so it’s the perfect make-ahead potluck offering and it is great for family gatherings.
How To Serve Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad
Serve chilled or at room temperature. It makes a great side for hot dogs, burgers, or barbecued chicken.
Which Type Of Beans To Use
I use kidney beans, green beans, wax beans, and garbanzo beans, but you can switch the beans up. Navy beans, black beans, lima beans, or black-eyed peas would be good and even edamame will work in this recipe.
Variations and Additions
Instead of pimentos, use some diced red bell pepper.
Add some chopped fresh parsley or dill.
To make it spicy, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes.
How To Store
Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
