Summer side dish

 
All ingredients, including maple sugar on top, ready to be mixed



This classic bean salad is an easy dish to make for the summer, or all year through! Instead of using regular white sugar, though, we make it with our granulated pure maple sugar.  Give it a try....even those who don't like maple will like this!





Three Bean Salad

15 or 16 oz. green beans
15 or 16 oz. kidney beans
15 or 16 oz. garbanzo beans
1/3 of a large sweet onion, chopped fine
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup granulated maple sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 - 1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Put all beans (use whatever kind of beans you want) and onion in large bowl.  Add vinegar, olive oil, maple sugar, salt and pepper, then mix together.  Chill in refrigerator.

All done!
