I was able to use garden fresh green beans from my father, as well as some various peppers he had grown in his garden, it was a big hit with the in-law family, so it's a keeper!

I'm sorry but we didn't like this at all. It was WAY too sweet and we weren't a fan of the sweet/vinegary concoction.

Made this to take to a BBQ where they were serving rib. This was the PERFECT accompaniment. Everyone raved about it. No leftovers. I have made this a couple of times since and is just doggone good.

This was much too sweet for me. I would use only 1/3 cup of sugar.

This was really good! It did remind me of the 4 bean salad that my mom used to make. I used Splenda instead of sugar and fire-roasted red peppers instead of pimentos, because that is what I had. Next time I'll cut back the dressing ingredients to about 2/3 because there is a lot more dressing than needed.

This is a delicious twist to the ever popular 4 bean salad...one that I like better and tastes much fresher! I did make a few changes based on personal preference. I made this using foods I had on hand...to the frozen corn,green beans and peas I added a bag of frozen mixed veggies (the carrots added a punch of color),cut the sugar to 3/4c cup, used 1/4 cup garlic infused olive oil, a teaspoon of tarragon flakes, 1 teaspoon mustard powder and a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I omitted the pimentos,celery & water. Thank you for such a tasty & healthy salad:-)

This recipe is a keeper. I ended up putting in a can of drained black beans, to make it a little more substantial for my fussy teenager. This salad is good the day it's made and I think better the next day.

I made this salad today and couldn't wait four hours so tried them after an hour and a half. It was so good, I can imagine how good it will be after it sits a little longer. Can't wait. Followed the recipe. Thanks Patsy. I have something new to serve for the next family gathering.

I have made this recipe for about 15 years. (Mine is called Marinated Vegetables and came from south Georgia.) Except for the corn and water, and using just a single serving can of peas, it is the same. I would leave the water out. It gets crunchier the longer it is refrigerated. It will keep a week or longer in the refrigerator because of the amt of vinegar and sugar. We love it with meals and as a relish with sandwiches.

Too much dressing. No need to add water.Cut way back on the sugar, oil and vinegar.

I omitted the pimentos, used a can of white shoepeg corn instead of regular, and added 1 small can of mexican style corn. The only other change I made was reducing the oil to 1/4 cup. I feel that 1/2 cup just makes the salad too oily, which is my reason for 4 stars and not 5.

This is a great recipe the only change I made was using 1/2 rice vinegar along with the 1/2 cup white vinegar. Delicious after just an hour in the fridge

Excellent! We took this to a picnic. It held up well and was a nice, crisp veggie side dish. Used fresh or frozen veggies, no canned. Used red pepper instead of green. (No pimentos.) Replaced white vinegar with apple cider vinegar and used WAY less sugar. I actually used agave nectar to sweeten it and only used 2 tablespoons of it, or so. Will make often. So yummy!

Awesome!!! I just made this salad, even though I didn't have all the ingredients. I had frozen green beans, and frozen mixed vegs, onions, vinegar used olive oil, sugar, salt & crushed red pepper. Will make this again these ingredients I always have on hand.

My family really loves this! It is a cool and refreshing summer side dish. I usually use frozen vegetables, red pepper instead of green, and omit the pimiento. The frozen vegetables give the dish better color. Thanks for the recipe!
