The salad summer series continues! And by “series” I mean, here’s one more since the Italian Pasta Salad. When it’s 90 degrees and humid outside, there’s no need for a big bowl of hot chili. I just want a salad to cool things down satisfy my hunger without feeling overheated. Make this super easy salad for dinner, side dish or that upcoming picnic.

1/3 scant cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the dressing to the beans. Toss to coat.
3. Chill beans in the refrigerator for several hours, to allow the beans to soak up the flavor of the dressing.
Voila!
What a great salad and so much better than the traditional ones I saw growing up.
This looks so good! Especially nice to take to a party because it’s not as bad to leave sitting out for more than an hour or two!
definitely! enjoy!
