This crowd-pleaser is like a German potato salad made with colorful beans. My mom's been preparing this salad for years—it's so simple to create and great to take to church suppers. #151;Angela Leinenbach, Mechanicsville, Virginia Ingredients:
8 bacon strips, diced |
2/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
pinch pepper |
3/4 cup white vinegar |
1/2 cup water |
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) lima beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) cut green beans, drained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) cut wax beans, drained |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain, reserving 1/4 cup drippings. Add sugar, cornstarch, salt and pepper to drippings. Stir in vinegar and water; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
2. Add the beans; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until beans are heated through.
3. Place in a serving bowl; top with bacon. Yield: 10-12 servings.
