Zesty Bean Salad Directions:
Open and drain each can of beans. Additionally, I add the beans to a mesh strainer and rinse them well with cold water. Let them drain. This removes most of the excess salt used in canning.
Add your onions, celery and peppers to a large bowl. Sprinkle the onions and peppers with the sugar, parsley and celery seeds. Let this sit for about 30 minutes on the counter. It will make its own juice. Then add the entire bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing. Stir well to combine.
Once the beans are drained and rinsed add them to the bowl with the pepper and onions. Toss well to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or ideally overnight.
These beans make a great side dish or add some grilled chicken for a complete meal.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
