I am being compensated by Cans Get You Cooking for sharing this recipe and information about cooking with canned foods. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Three Bean Salad - A perfect side dish for summer or Thanksgiving!

Summer may be coming to an end. But there’s still time for a bbq or two! This Three Bean salad is such a yummy side dish that goes with any grill item. Steak, burgers, hot dogs…This is the perfect salad for summer grilling. With Labor Day just around the corner, you’ll be all set with a side dish!

What would you say if I told you that all the beans for this salad come from a can? I tell you no lie. This beautifully colorful bean salad is made with three different canned beans. And as a Cans Get You Cooking Canbassador, I’m all about a good recipe using cans! These beans are right on with the nutritional value of fresh beans. And they sure make this recipe easy! If you can open a can, you can make this salad.

I didn’t even have to go to the grocery store for this recipe. I had everything in needed in my pantry – or “Cantry.” I’m all stocked with canned foods that I can use for different recipes throughout the week. And I feel good about what I’m serving my family.

Three Bean Salad is also great for Thanksgiving!
