Glen Millett's Bean Salad

As promised, here is my beautiful Mom's recipe (OBTW, she was a snare drummer in the ISU marching band!):

1 can mixed cut green beans and wax beans
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1/2 sweet white onion, tiny dice
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper*
3 hearts of palm stalks* cut into circles
1 stalk of celery, tiny dice
1 small container of crumbled feta* or goat cheese* - get the "herbed"* kind, if poss.
2/3 cup red wine* vinegar
1/3 cup canola* oil
1&1/4 t. Kosher* salt
1 t. freshly ground* pepper
1 clove garlic, minced*
1/2-3/4 cup Sugar in the Raw* (depends on how sweet you like it)

Drain and rinse beans well. Whisk together vinegar oil, S&P and sugar. Place all the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Pour dressing over, and mix to combine. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. "Deeeeelicious!!" ~ her word.

Have FUN today!!
