- \n
- Garbanzo beans:\u00a0<\/strong>The garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) offer a nice nutty, creamy texture to the salad. These and all the canned beans in this recipe get drained and rinsed before being added.<\/li>\n
- Kidney beans:\u00a0<\/strong>The mildly sweet taste of kidney beans<\/a> softens out the onion you’ll see later in this recipe.<\/li>\n
- Great northern beans: <\/strong>Known for being a more delicate bean, great northern beans are a can’t-miss for this salad.<\/li>\n
- Wax beans:\u00a0<\/strong>Wax beans are bright yellow beans that add color to your salad along with their nice gentle bean flavor.<\/li>\n
- Green beans: <\/strong>This recipe calls for frozen green beans for ease, but if you want to use fresh, that works too.<\/li>\n
- Onions:\u00a0<\/strong>Freshly chopped onion adds the ideal crunch. Although any type of onion will be good here, you can’t go wrong with a purple onion.<\/li>\n
- White vinegar:\u00a0<\/strong>White vinegar has a bright, slightly sour taste that’s a wonderful addition to this salad.<\/li>\n
- Sugar: <\/strong>The sweetness of the sugar helps to balance the tart white vinegar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan I freeze 5-bean salad?<\/h3>\n
This salad doesn’t freeze well, so we recommend making it up fresh and then eating it within three to four days.<\/p>\n
What can I serve with 5-bean salad recipes?<\/h3>\n
This salad is excellent to bring along to a potluck. We recommend serving it alongside other typical barbecue-style foods, such as pulled pork sandwiches,<\/a> chicken wings<\/a> or big juicy burgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
What can I do with all the bean liquid?<\/h3>\n
Don’t toss the liquid when you drain the canned beans\u2014you can actually use it to make a vegan mayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
