Italian Three Bean Salad

I think the Three Bean Salad gets no love in the salad department! It's always potato & macaroni salad, which is a bummer to people who don't like mayo or miracle whip (I like neither!). I told Mike this may be my favorite thing thus far I have made besides oatmeal pancakes, and he was shocked. He worked at a deli when he was younger so they always had it, making this dish was no big deal to him. Mike did note that the addition of green peppers provided a nice added texture.

Ingredients:

1 can green beans (drained)
1 can wax beans (drained)
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 red onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1/2 cup oil
2/3 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Procedure:

Combine beans, onion and green pepper.
Mix oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Pour over beans.
Marinate for at least 1/2 hr.

Note: Must mix liquid ingredients well or oil will separate.
