Felix, this was the first time I ever made a kidney bean salad, and I really liked this one. I think the celery and dill pickles gave this salad flavor and crunch. However, I only added a 1/2 cup of diced celery, but I did add a bit more mayonnaise (1 Tbsp. more) to be exact. I also thought the pimiento added in this salad was a nice touch. I found that 4 hrs. of refrigeration was all the time this salad needed to be chilled. Thank you for the recipe Felix!! -
This is the first time I have made kidney bean salad. The family loved it! I didn't have pimento in the house so I substituted with roasted red pepper. It was delicious and so easy to make. -
This is the way my mom always made kidney bean salad with the exception of the pimento. The pimento is an excellent addition to this recipe. This salad is a great source of protein for those hot summer days when you don't feel like cooking.

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites.
My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs.
Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
