Three bean salad with a slightly sweet dressing.

1 can (16 oz.) green beans
1 can (16 oz.) wax beans
1 can (16 oz.) kidney beans
1 medium green pepper, sliced and chopped
1 medium-sized white onion sliced and cut up
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Drain green and wax beans; place in bowl. Drain and rinse kidney beans; add to bowl; add pepper and onion.

In separate bowl, combine vinegar and sugar; whisk to dissolve sugar; add oil, salt and pepper; pour over beans; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld. This will last 3 to 4 days and tastes better after 2 days.

Serves: 6
Ready In: Under 30 minutes

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tbs baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
6 Tbs lard
Directions:
Sift the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in the lard with a pastry cutter or with two knives until a coarse texture is obtained.
Add buttermilk and knead gently but thoroughly.
The dough should be soft but not sticky: if it is, add a little more flour.
Knead for 1 minute, wrap in foil or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter. (If you don’t have one, a cup with the desired diameter will work.)
Transfer biscuits to a dark baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
