Three Bean Salad with Fresh Green Beans?
I have a ton of green beans I need to use up. I really wanted to make a three bean salad, but I don't have any wax beans. That is OK, I was just going to skip those, and use chick peas and kidney beans. Yum!
All the recipes I have found call for canned green beans. How would I make the conversion? Would I cook the green beans first? Anyone have a really good recipe for it?

Re: Three Bean Salad with Fresh Green Beans?
I would steam the green beans first so they're tender but still crunchy. Here's my bean salad:
2 c green beans 2 c yellow beans 2 c red kidney beans 1/4 c oil 5 tsp white vinegar 1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves 1 tsp sugar 2 tsp mayo salt pepper

Re: Three Bean Salad with Fresh Green Beans?
I make mine with garbanzo, green beans & black beans. Or whatever tin of beans happens to be in my cupboard.
My dressing is: olive oil, red wine vinegar, dash of sugar, salt & pepper. Easy peasy. And yummy. With fresh beans, I'd probably steam them first.
