  • 1 cup Celery, Chopped
  • ½ cups Red Pepper, Diced
  • 1 cup Whole Green Manzanilla Olives
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • ¾ cups White Sugar
  • ¾ cups White Or Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Agree that this is the absolute best bean salad ever! I get requests for it for any family gathering. Just be sure to make at least a day ahead and enjoy!

Do you drain the canned items before mixing it all together?

Making this for a potluck this week for work. Was just thinking the 1/4 cup of olives didn’t sound like much, then noticed on your website it calls for a full cup…that’s more like it! :-)

This dressing is great! I don’t know if it’s the ingredients or because it sits for 24 hours. But it is good and I’ll make it again.

This is amazing! I would never have thought of putting dill in a bean salad. This is definitely going on my list!!

This is the best bean salad recipe I have ever made! I’ve made it several time now. I had been looking for a good recipe for a long time and the ones I found were ok but not outstanding. This one IS outstanding!

This is incredible!!!! It barely made it to work with me today for the potluck because everyone at home wanted to eat it. I only changed 1 thing..used fresh oregano instead of dill at the request of a coworker. Absolutely divine!! Am curious to try with the dill next time.
