Homemade Five Bean Salad
CFC’s FAVORITE Homemade Five Bean Salad ?⠀
⠀
Okay….This salad is completely ADDICTIVE with all its tangy flavors!⠀
⠀
Our Five Bean Salad is FABULOUS for parties, BBQ’S, and especially Holiday Celebrations (think double/triple the recipe) because you can make it the day before, set it in the fridge…simply pull it out and serve at party time!⠀
⠀
And yes….let’s chat about something really quickly. Many of you know we have 6 kids and I do choose to supplement our grocery staples with canned goods at times. Life is BUSY, and a pantry full of good canned options is definitely healthier and more budget friendly than drive tru takeout many nights.⠀
This helps the family dollar stretch, and I feel like it can be a healthy addition to our diets if we use canned goods sparingly and look for those BPA free liners, and low sodium varieties.⠀
⠀
Be SURE to rinse off your beans well if using canned.⠀
⠀
This recipe works WONDERFULLY with dried beans that you soak then cook, and allow to cool before proceeding with my recipe. (follow package directions)⠀
You’ll just need to plan a few days ahead!⠀
