Cool Kidney Bean Salad
- 1 hard boiled egg
- 1 regular size can of kidney beans (about 16 oz)
- 1 small onion (chopped fine)
- 2 T relish
- 2 T salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
Directions:
You'll want to boil your egg first. This can be done along with eggs for deviled eggs, or just make several eggs and have some hard boiled eggs on hand to snack on. The egg can be left out, but it does add to the flavor.
Rinse the kidney beans. You can just pour off the extra water, but I think the various tastes of the salad come through better if the beans are rinsed.
Put the chopped egg, rinsed kidney beans and all the other ingredients in a big bowl and mix everything well.
Chill for a couple of hours or even overnight.
A lady from my Grandma's church in the mountains gave me this recipe. They have some heap good cooks up there.
