GRANDMA'S SWEET AND TANGY BEAN SALAD



Grandma's Sweet and Tangy Bean Salad image

I've never been a huge bean salad fan, due to the textures primarily. However, this bean salad my grandmother and mother passed along is great because it adds a good crunchiness with cucumbers, green peppers, onion, and celery!
