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.
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.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. It makes a great side for hot dogs, burgers, or barbecued chicken.
I use kidney beans, green beans, wax beans, and garbanzo beans, but you can switch the beans up. Navy beans, black beans, or black-eyed peas would be good and even edamame will work in this recipe.
