Summer may be quickly coming to an end, but we are not done with grilling season yet! This week on The Wishful Dish, we have some of the tastiest hot dogs in the universe! Well, I actually like to call them "steak" dogs, because they are made from steak trimmings. That's why they taste so good! They are from Kansas City Steak company, and they sold out the last time they were on, so don't miss them! I've included this LINK if you want to check them out. They make a perfect Friday Night Meal, because they are so easy to prepare.  Also, since they ship frozen, you will have them by Friday! So, I was thinking about a great side dish to go with the hot dogs, and some things are just the obvious choice. Like peanut butter and jelly, this choice would be franks and beans. But this recipe isn't the traditional baked beans, it's actually a three bean salad. This recipe is so good, I kept sneaking a few bites in between meals when I felt like snacking. And it's so easy that it can be made in less than 10 minutes!

 

3 Bean Salad

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed

1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed                                                                     

1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped

3/4 cup salsa

1/4 cup French dressing

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, toss together all of the beans, water chestnuts, salsa, and the dressing. Season with garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Cover, chill, and eat!  Everyone in my house loved this salad, including my kids (and they can be hard to please!).  So, if you want to encourage eating more beans in your house, this recipe may be for you! 

Also, I have a sneak peek of an item coming up in my show, that will be getting its only presentation at the Featured Price.  It's a choice of flavors in the Graham and Rollins Yellowfin Tuna Burgers. 

We've worked very hard to bring you new foods, and this one is very exciting! Please join me for The Wishful Dish on Monday at 5pm! I can't wait for you to stop by!
