Reason #6 I am a dork: RECIPES!
It almost being the biggest summer holiday weekend for people in the U.S., thought I'd share my favorite picnic recipe. Have you ever had Three Bean Salad? I hate Three Bean Salad. This is *good* bean salad. And it's pretty too!
1 16oz can kidney beans
1 16oz can pinto beans
1 16oz can garbanzo beans
1 cup shredded carrots
5 green onions, sliced
1 4oz can diced green chiles
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 cup sugar
A day ahead, drain the beans; rinse with cold water. Drain. Combine with the carrots, green onions, and chiles. In a separate bowl combine the rest of the ingredients, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the vegetables. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Note: The original recipe called for 3/4 cup of oil which I found to be a bit too much.
