THREE BEAN SALAD

This salad is unique because it has three different kinds of dried beans.

1/2 lb. small red beans
1/2 lb. navy beans
1/2 lb. garbanzo beans
salt to taste
coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
Bean Salad Dressing (recipe included)

Wash beans. In separate pots, cover beans with several inches of water and soak for about 8 hrs. Discard soaking water. Then add more water and simmer beans until al dente. Drain and cool on plates. Salt lightly.

When beans are cooled, add 1/4 cup of each type of bean to each serving bowl, add salad dressing and blend. Add plenty of coarsely ground black pepper and salt to taste.

Bean Salad Dressing
