Cold Bean Salad

This bean salad is so easy to make and so delicious. It is great for a quick lunch, a cool dinner, or as a side dish. It is makes a great dish to take to parties, back yard BBQs and pot lucks. My daughter gave me the recipe for the basis of the bean salad and then of course I tweaked it, but just a bit.

Here is what you will need:

1 can petite diced tomatoes

1 can black beans

1 can kidney beans

1 can corn

1 can garbanzo beans

1 can soy beans

1 can sliced black olives

1/4 to 1/3 cup diced red onion (depending on taste)

Italian dressing

Open and drain all cans. Dump into large bowl and add diced onions. Pour Italian dressing (to taste) over the ingredients and mix well. Cover and store in refrigerator. Serve cold. Keeps in refrigerator for about 5 days.
