Easy Bean Salad
With wintery weather this week it makes me feel better to forgo the soups for a day and make a salad for dinner. Celebrating warmer weather ahead. I love bean salads and they can make a quick dinner or side dish. For my salad I used a combination of baby carrots, green and wax beans and kidney beans but feel free to use what you have on hand. I also added some sweet onion and made a quick Italian dressing.
