Ingredients
- 1 cup dark red kidney beans
- 1 cup waxed yellow beans
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup garbanzo beans
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup mushrooms
- 10 medium or 20 small black olives, pitted
- 1 cup reduced fat or fat free zesty Italian dressing
Drain each of the vegetables, one at a time and rinse off with water, then transfer to your serving bowl. Mix contents thoroughly.
After rinsing off mushrooms, slice into medium pieces, then transfer to the bowl and mix.
Cut olives in half then transfer to the pasta bowl and mix.
Add Italian dressing, mix, and chill in fridge before serving.
Note: If using frozen vegetables or dried beans, follow directions for the package first.
One of the things I liked about this salad (besides the fact it''s good) is the way the colors of the beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and olives blended together.
The colors in the salad complemented each other beautifully.
Serves: 4-6
Preparation time: 10 minutes (for canned vegetables, longer for frozen or dried products)
