Kidney Bean Salad

1 can of red kidneys beans (undrained)
2 hard boiled eggs coarsely chopped
1 small onion diced
1/4 C of pickle relish
and some celery if you wish (chopped coarse)
1/2 C of Mayonaise or Miracle Whip (he preferred Miracle Whip)

Mix everything in a bowl. Salt and Pepper to taste. Refirgerate until cold.

I remember a LOT of members posted about this on the other site and while browsing my 1963 Good Housekeeping Cookbook, I found a different version of this salad. I will post it later on in this thread.

In that first recipe, I tried the recipe and I also drained the kidney beans. I think it would have been too soggy if not. Here is the other recipe I found in one of my older cookbooks.

CRUNCHY KIDNEY BEAN SALAD
The Good Housekeeping Cookbook - 1963

1 pound can kidney beans
1/2 cup diced celery
1/3 cup diced sweet pickles
1/2 cup sliced stuffed olives
2 TBS snipped scallions
1/4-1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 TBS chili sauce
1/2 tsp salt

DAY BEFORE: Get beans and other ingredients into refrigerator to chill.

TO SERVE: Drain kidney beans, rinse in cold water and drain well. Combine beans with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Serve chilled.
