This easy picnic salad recipe is perfect for all your summer gatherings and barbecues. This is SO simple to make and is always a hit!

Three Bean Salad

Hello Friends! I have been to several potlucks for various celebrations and thought I would share my recipe for a classic three bean salad with a twist.

I remember at all the family gatherings, there would always be an old-fashioned three-bean salad and when I was younger, I honestly wasn't that interested. But now I actually like this salad and find it easy to change up to reflect more current flavors.

The original recipe called for canned green beans. I do not usually buy canned green beans, so in this case, I used Great Northern beans. They had been sitting in the pantry and decided to put them to use them in this recipe and it came out great.

Updated Three Bean Salad Recipe

This updated salad is perfect for a barbecue or picnic because it can be made ahead of time.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
