Christmas Bean Salad

"You know how you make something once and then you are making it for the rest of your life? Well that's how this gets it's name. I HAVE to make it every Christmas or my family revolts! Don't be put off by the seemingly long list of ingredients - it's mostly opening cans! Can be made up to 3 hours ahead however only add dressing at time of serving. (Australian measurements used.)"

  1. These looked lovely on our Christmas table. It was enjoyed by many and a terrific dish to have for our vegetarians. I used Recipe #201756 to dress it which was very nice. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
     
  2. I served this for Christmas this year. This is so easy to make. I used rice vinegar when I make mine. I waited to cut and add the mint and parsley until the very end of making this. People enjoyed this colorful salad and so did I. I will be making this again. Thank you.
     
  3. What a fantastic colourful salad, I can see why it is a favourite at Christmas! I skipped on the celery as I'm not a huge fan on raw, but otherwise made as directed. YUM...what else is there to say!!
