Yes, except they sometimes-but not always-put some green pepper and/or shredded carrot in it.

Is this like the bean salad on the salad bar at Fire Mountain? I love that stuff.

(taken from Woman's Day Receipe Collection)

This tastes like Hanaford's 4 bean salad

1 can cut green beans, drained
1 can cut yellow wax beans, drained
1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and washed (or black beans, light kidney beans, red beans, etc, drained & washed)
1/2 C sliced vidalia onion (or other sweet onion)
1/3 C diced green pepper
smallest jar or 1 heaping tbsp diced pimento

Drain all of the above well. Use whatever bean combination of the 3 or 4 types that you wish.

Mix together & shake the following for the dressing:

1/2 C cider vinegar
1/2 C vegetable oil (or olive oil)
3/4 C sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper


Combine the your combination of vegetables with the vinegar & oil mixture. Marinate in refrigerator for several hours, or overnight. This will hold up very well on an outdoor buffet, but is best if you can keep it chilled by putting in a small bowl, and nest that over a larger bowl filled with crushed ice and a small amount of water! Enjoy!
