We keep this cold, low-fat, low calorie veggie in the refrigerator at all times during the hot Summer months. We eat it as a side dish or my favorite way - spooned on top of a green salad just before adding the dressing! NOTE: This is a versatile salad. Let your imagination run wild and create new versions from ingredients you have on hand! Ingredients:
2 (16 ounce) cans green beans |
1 (16 ounce) can waxed yellow beans |
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms |
1 onion, thinly sliced |
1 carrot, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 cups vinegar |
1 1/2 cups splenda sugar substitute, for baking or 5 teaspoons equal sugar substitute |
1/2 cup water |
2 -5 1/4 tablespoons canola oil or 2 -5 1/4 tablespoons olive oil (optional) |
Directions:
1. Note:*** We prefer the salad without the oil; however, you may wish to add some or all of it.
2. Rinse and drain canned veggies and place in bowl, along with the carrots and onion.
3. Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over veggies.
4. Refrigerate until chilled.
5. Drain and serve.
6.
