“This salad may be better known as ‘Three Bean Salad.’ Although technically this would be a Four Bean Salad. A classic potluck salad, it gets better the longer it sits.” – April Ferre
“At one time, three bean salads were all the rave. When you made this for a potluck, everyone always requested the recipe. Now you can find it in the can, but homemade is still the best. Adding a little bit of this to the top of a tossed green salad makes for an extra special treat.” – Calla Ferre
