I am a big huge fan of vinegary bean salads. My mom’s recipe is one of my all-time favorites. This copycat of the bean salad you used to be able to get at KFC is just as good as mom’s, if not better. It’s dangerously similar, but with a twist: green bell pepper. Well, you could’ve knocked me down with a feather. How was I to know how much that lil old bell pepper would add to this salad?
Perfect For That Family Picnic
This recipe for a copycat KFC bean salad makes a decent-sized batch. Good enough for a family get-together. And it’ll hold up in the heat for a bit too. But it won’t last anyways, because everyone is going to love it. I sure did. Just remember to give it a stir every once-in-a-while so that all the deliciousness gets spread around evenly.
Don’t forget to also make my copycat KFC potato wedges, macaroni and cheese and their delicious chicken nuggets!
