If you've been following me for awhile, then you already know I LOVE salads!! They are my favorite summertime side dish. I always have requests for favorites from friends and family every time we hang out and grill.
This Tangy 5 Bean Salad turned out especially good!
I love the tartness and sweetness from the vinegar based sauce. The dill adds a fresh pop of flavor, the onion and bell pepper add crunch and the many canned beans add texture.
I've made this several times, with both of my sisters and we all loved it. It's inexpensive, can feed a crowd and can be made ahead and refrigerated.
If you're a fan of pickles like we are, then you'll love this salad!
