Another of my mother's salads, enjoyed by my family for two generations!! This is a great make-ahead salad for picnics, cook-outs, barbecues, potlucks, etc. Ingredients:
2 (1 lb) cans sliced green beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (1 lb) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (3 ounce) jar diced pimentos |
1 red onion, sliced into thin rings |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/2 cup salad oil |
pepper |
fresh tarragon, to garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine beans with pimento and thinly sliced onion.
2. Combine crushed garlic and salt with next five ingredients in a leak-proof container with lid; shake until well blended. Pour over salad.
3. Cover and marinate overnight or several days, stirring occasionally- flavor seems to improve. Time does not include chill time.
4. Garnish with fresh tarragon right before serving.
