Bean Salad Recipe - My MIL's Famous Galena Caviar
My mother-in-law shared her bean salad recipe with me. She’s basically famous for it in Galena, therefore, earning it the name Galena Caviar.
She serves it when she hosts gatherings and often brings it as a side when attending a party. People eat it with chips or just by the spoonful.
No special occasion needed to serve a delicious bean salad recipe. Since the salad is loaded with colorful, fiber-packed ingredients, whip up a batch to munch on throughout the week. Galena Caviar will make you new friends at parties, or, take your next Taco Tuesday to another level.
BBQ season will be here before we know it. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, and many more times to get together with friends and family are around the corner. Be sure to pin this recipe, so you’re armed and ready with appetizer and side dish ideas.
Thank you to my mother-in-law for sharing her secret food weapon!
If you like to prepare food ahead of time for events, this bean salad recipe is for you.
Since it’s best when refrigerated overnight, you almost have to make it the day or night before. We love make-ahead recipes, so bonus points for that.

Never heard of Henri's Italian Dressing. Is this a USA product?
Henri’s dressing is very high in carbs/sugar do not use. A good Italian dressing will be just as good.
