This is a very versatle, crisp, beautiful and delicious salad I had at a friend's for lunch the other day. It can be made using the veggies listed or you can take out ones you don't like and add others that you do like. I used 1 can veg-all and added 1 can green beans and 1 can garbonzo beans. You personalize it to your family's taste. It also lasts for several days in the refrigerater and is a great side to any meat or fish entree. Hey, it's quite healthy too! Ingredients:
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans veg-all mixed vegetables, drained |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained |

1 cup apple cider vinegar |
3 teaspoons flour |

1 teaspoon celery seed |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons prepared mustard |
