8-ounce can cut green beans*

1 8-ounce can red kidney beans*

1 medium onion

1/2 cup sweet green bell pepper, chopped

8 ounces fat-free Italian salad dressing

*If you cannot find an 8-ounce can, use 1/2 of a 15-ounce can.

Directions

Drain the canned beans.
Peel and thinly slice the onion and separate into rings.
In a large bowl, combine the lima beans, green beans, kidney beans, onion rings, and green bell pepper.

Tips and Variations

This is a great recipe to make with your children. Older children can chop the vegetables while younger children can empty the cans and mix the salad.
Substitute other canned beans or sweet pepper if needed. It won’t affect the flavor very much.
Use low-sodium canned beans to reduce the sodium.
