A new old favorite...3 Bean Salad -Jeni

You will need:
1 package frozen green beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can great northern or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup chopped or sliced red onion
Apple cider vinegar
oil ( canola or vegetable, olive ruins the taste)
sugar
salt and pepper

Thaw the beans , and then throw everything into a bowl. I dont really measure but here are approximations. 4 T vinegar, 2 T oil, 2 T sugar, dashes of salt and pepper. Mix it all up and chill for 1 hour. I leave it on the counter because the green beans are usually still frozen. This has become one of My favorite side dishes recently, but my kids don't appreciate it!
