This is a traditional three bean salad featuring a sweet and sour dressing made from sugar and apple cider vinegar. It combines canned green beans, yellow wax beans, and kidney beans with diced green pepper. The simple method involves mixing all components before chilling. The salad benefits from resting for several hours to allow the flavours to blend thoroughly, making it an ideal make-ahead dish for gatherings. It yields enough for eight servings.
