Indulge in the classic American side dish, a refreshing and flavorful 3-Bean Salad that mirrors the iconic KFC recipe. This delightful salad boasts a vibrant combination of three types of beans – kidney beans, green beans, and wax beans – each offering a distinct texture and flavor. Served chilled, the salad is tossed in a tangy and sweet dressing made with vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. The addition of chopped onion and celery adds a crisp and aromatic touch, while a sprinkle of paprika lends a vibrant red hue. Discover two variations of this classic salad: a vegetarian version that showcases the natural flavors of the beans and a bacon-infused version that adds a smoky and savory twist. Both recipes offer a delectable side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fried chicken, or as a light and healthy lunch option.

3 BEAN SALAD-THE 1960'S ORIGINAL RECIPE
This was a big hit when I was growing up. I think KFC started having such a salad, so all my mom's friends went in search of a recipe for it. So this was served at every fish fry, or get together. I remember my mom saying it was better to fix 1 or 2 days ahead because the flavors blend more and more....getting better and better.

Steps:
- 1. Mix in a bowl all the beans (drained), and vegetables.
- 2. In a separate small bowl mix the sugar, vinegar, salad oil, salt & pepper. Blend well.
- 3. Pour & combine the oil and vinegar marinade over the bean/vegetable mix and let sit, covered in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest beans possible. Fresh beans will have a crisp texture and a mild, nutty flavor. Avoid beans that are wrinkled or discolored.
- Soak the beans overnight before cooking. Soaking the beans will help them to cook more evenly and will also reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
- Cook the beans according to the package directions. Be sure to drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the salad.
- Add your favorite vegetables and dressing. Some good options include diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a vinaigrette dressing. You can also add crumbled bacon, cheese, or hard-boiled eggs.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be chilled for up to 3 days.
