I like 3 or 4 Bean Salad, but all commercial ones I've seen have sugar. So I make a quickie kind of my own.

FOUR BEAN SALAD

1 can KIDNEY BEANS
1 can CUT YELLOW WAX BEANS
1 can CUT GREEN BEANS
1 can CHICK PEAS
1 Onion or more if you like onion.
1/3 c. White Vinegar
1 c. Water
6 - 8 packets sweetener
Couple of shakes of salt
Couple of twists of fresh ground pepper
Some granulated Garlic

Drain cans of all their juice and rinse well. Put into bowl.
Slice onion and then quarter each slice. Or coarsely dice. Add to
beans. Add seasonings and sweetener.

Mix enough vinegar and water to make enough liquid to cover
beans. I use the proportions given, but usually double or triple it
according to how much onion I use.

Mix well. Refrigerate several hours or overnight (best) for the
flavors to blend. ENJOY!

I know recipes that call for pimentos or add oil or even cook
vinegar mixture. But I like it this way!

I use this for a snack at times or in place of salad. If you're a person who believes vinegar helps with weight loss here's a way to get it!
