Three Bean Salad Magnificent


 Three Bean Salad Magnificent


When my daughter was in college, (Potsdam) she used to go to Montreal with her room mate to visit her uncle who gave her this recipe, the secret of its success is drying the beans and using vegetable oil. 


Ingredients


2 cans pink kidney beans

1 can chick peas

1 can dark red kidney white onion finely chopped

1/4 cup parsley finely chopped

3 tomatoes chopped

1 white onion finely chopped

Lemon juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

1 teasp. Salt

1/2 teasp. Pepper

1/4 teasp. Citric acid


Directions


The key to this dish is to drain the beans completely and put in a colander  lined with paper towels to dry as much as possible.

Place the beans in a bowl once drained, add the onion, parsley, lemon juice, tomatoes, vegetable oil, salt, pepper, citric acid and mix together. Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your taste.

Cover and put in fridge for at least an hour. Tastes better that way.
