Love Bean salads - and this bean salad is wonderful! The apple cider and the garlic flavoured rice vinegar make for a great tasting 'new to us bean salad' - a salad that is going to see to a repeat this week. We have a picnic coming up this weekend so along with having a salad in the fridge ready to go for our cookouts - I now have a 'new' salad for the picnic - know they are going to give a big thumbs up to this one!Thank you Marmie.

I live on a farm in beautiful Alberta Canada with my husband and children. Between us we have six 'kids' ranging in age from 16 - 26 years old. Now that there are only two of our kids left living at home, I have more time to play around with my real passion; cooking and trying new recipes. I really love it when the kids come home so I can cook for them. I truly enjoy harvesting our massive garden (well, actually it is more my husband Jerry's garden if I am honest.)and putting up preserves every year. We have a great arrangement, he plants and weeds - I cook and can everything edible! It works well for us. My favorite thing is when my husband and I share a glass of wine while I am cooking and have the best visits. Oh so much good food out there and so little waistline to spare!
My idea of a nice vacation souvenir is a pile of new and unusual spices to play with! If I don't know what it is.... I just search for it on Recipezaar!!! Way too much fun!
