GREEN BEAN AND PEA SALAD 
16 oz. frozen peas, thawed
8 oz. frozen French-style green beans, thawed
1 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped onions
1/2 c. chopped green pepper (you can use any color pepper)
1 small jar pimento
1 can kidney beans, drained
1/3 c. vinegar
3/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix all the vegetables (use a large bowl; it makes quite a bit).

Stir the sugar and salt in the vinegar and water until melted. I put mine in the microwave and hit the "soup" button, then stir good. That melts the sugar; besides, when I added to the veggies, it cooked them slightly, but not much.

Cover and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or overnight.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
