gf bean salad

Comment: This recipe is a party favorite and we have copies ready to hand out for those who want to repeat it at home.  It is straight out of The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook 1989 edition and we don’t add or subtract any ingredients as the recipe itself produces excellent results. (If you want, however, you can add 1 16-ounce can of chic peas, drained, and by doing so it makes it a Four-Bean salad.)
