Grandma's Three Bean Salad
Nadine Miller Smeyne
Dad’s mom, Gladys Smeyne, Grandma was a really good cook. She liked to cook, yet I was ruthless about her cooking. It seemed that nothing was ever JUST prepared. It was always from the freezer. So, I used to say that whenever we came to town we were getting leftovers. But she did throw it together nicely. She made this salad from scratch. It’s easy and she did a great job with it. I must admit, I added a few things of my own to the mix. You can too!
