DRESSING

Put your beans on to cook.

While beans are cooking, chop vegetables and make dressing.

Let beans cool and when cool, mix everything together. Put in covered dish and place in refrigerator to let flavors blend for a couple hours.

I got this wonderful recipe in the deli kitchen of my co-op.
