three bean salad

Trio legume dish

Three bean salad is a cold side dish combining three types of beans—typically green beans, wax beans, and kidney beans—in a tangy vinaigrette dressing.

A staple of American picnics, potlucks, and cookouts, it keeps well without refrigeration and improves as it marinates: I'll bring the three bean salad to the barbecue.
