~~Colorful Bean Salad~~

[Sherri]

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) cur green beans/ 1 can ( 14 1/2 ounces) cut wax beans/ 1/2 cup chopped sweet red onion/ 3/4 cup Splenda/ 1 tsp. salt/ 1/2 tsp. pepper/ 1/2 cup canola oil/ 2/3 cup cider vinegar/ 1.) Drain the green and wax beans, and combine them in a bowl with the onion. 2.) In a seperate bowl, combine the Splenda, salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar; pour the mixture over the vegetables. 3.) Let it marinate for several hours at least; overnight won't hurt. Drain off the merinade and serve. Yeild; 4 generous servings. If you were to eat all the merinade, this would have 17 grams of carbohydrates per serving, but since you don't, each serving actually has about 10 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of fiber, for a total of 6 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein. NOTE- If you like, you can use 1 1/2 cups each of frozen green and wax beans, cooked tender crisp, drained and cooled.
