This was one of my dad's favorite summer salads, and since the base is a sweet/sour vinegar sugar base it goes well to a picnic.

How To Make four bean salad

Step 1

In a bowl combine the salt, pepper, sugar vinegar and salad oil, wisk to dissolve the sugar

Step 2

drain the beans, rinsing the kidney and garbanzo beans, and put in a large bowl.
Step 3

Dice the red onion, green and red peppers, and add to the beans.

Pour the dressing over, stir, and chill until serving time. I usually make this early in the day to serve at supper time to give the flavors a chance to marry.
