Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking together white vinegar, oil, and sugar in a small bowl or measuring cup until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Drain the green and yellow beans well, then rinse the kidney beans under cold water until clear.
In a large bowl, combine the beans with the thinly sliced red onion. Pour the dressing over and toss gently to coat.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally for even pickling.
Just before serving, give the salad another toss to redistribute the dressing and serve chilled with a slotted spoon.

Notes

For best results, allow the salad to chill overnight to enhance the flavors.
Feel free to adjust the vinegar and sugar to taste for your preferred level of tanginess.
This salad can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a light lunch.
