  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar pimento peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can cut green beans
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can yellow wax beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can lima beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans

  2. whisk together the white sugar
  3. vinegar
  4. and vegetable oil. Stir in the celery
  5. green pepper
  6. red onion and pimentos. Pour the green beans
  7. wax beans
  8. lima beans and kidney beans into a colander
  9. and rinse under cold water. Let drain for a few minutes
  10. then stir into the bowl with the rest of the salad. Store in a large jar in the refrigerator
  11. and shake or turn occasionally for 1 day to marinate. If you do not have a sealed container
