Three Bean Pasta Salad Notes If you prefer not to use your go-to canned Three Bean Salad, you can easily create your own mix with fresh green beans, yellow wax beans, and kidney beans. Don’t forget to add a delightful sweet dressing or vinaigrette! The ingredients typically found in canned versions include: Green Beans Water Wax Beans Kidney Beans Sugar Distilled Vinegar Dehydrated Onions Red Bell Peppers Salt Soybean Oil Turmeric I like to stock up on my favorite ingredients and cultivate my own herbs throughout the year, allowing me to whip this up whenever I please. Below, you’ll find the recipe for this tasty dish, perfect as a meal or side! Use Home Grown Basil It is best to use a home grown basil like ‘Tower’ or ‘Pesto Party’ varieties because they are small leaf and you won’t have to chop them up in this salad. Three Bean and Pasta Salad Recipe Level: Easy Prep Time: 10 Minutes Servings: 12 Total Time: 20 Minutes Ingredients: 10 oz bow tie whole wheat pasta (prepared) ½ cup of small tomatoes 10 oz can of Three Bean Salad (kidney bean , green bean, wax bean and juice in can) 2 green onion diced ¼ cup of diced sweet red onion ¼ cup of torn basil leaves dash of parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons of olive oil (if needed) Directions Let pasta cool in mixing bowl. Prepare spring onions, peppers, tomatoes before adding the entire can of three bean salad. Fold in vegetables and torn basil. Sprinkle parmesan cheese (shaker style) on top. If pasta salad is to dry add olive oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving because it is best served cold. Notes: Use your favorite brand of ‘three bean salad’ produce can. I have used the ‘Read’ brand but also the Aldi version is fresh and has a nice liquid base for this salad. Spice this up with some pepper flakes if desired.
