Calico Salad
"This is the ultimate in bean salads. It has a tangy sauce and is not in the slightest boring. I like to serve this with any kind of BBQ."

Yummy!! This is very good bean salad. Quick and easy to make with a nice tangy/sweet flavor. I loved all of the colors, too. I only had 1/2 cup of cider vinegar, so I had to use 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar, too. My family loved this salad and I will definitely be making it again. Thank you for another great PAC recipe.

I have been a recipe collector for years and years now and have thousands of tried and true favorites. I also have thousands I have never even tried and more that I would never try. I am even compiling my own cookbooks for some later date.
I used to own my own restaurant and between my Mom and I did all the baking for it. I am now the owner of a very busy motel and have a breakfast room with all homemade muffins and breads.
I am interested in anything unusual that I might serve to my customers.
My favorite recipe book definately is "The American Woman's Cookbook" published in 1938 for the first time. It has the best recipes I have ever found - until I got a computer.
