    Fall Harvest Bean Salad - a cold refreshing salad made with sweet chopped apples, red kidney beans, and toasted walnuts! So easy to make.

    I made this salad for a camping trip a couple of weeks ago when I wanted something a little more interesting than chips to go with our easy dinner of roast beef wraps.  I mixed everything together the morning of our trip and then just tossed it into the camper's fridge in a tupperware container.  By the time we ate it later that evening the flavors had melded together nicely.

    This salad is a common recipe that can be found on a can of kidney beans or circulating around many recipe blogs and websites.  The combination of sweet apple with the mild beans and tang of red wine vinegar is so refreshing!  It was the perfect way to "dress up" an otherwise simple dinner.

    The only change I made to the original recipe is adding an additional ¼ cup of chopped apple.  I wanted more of the sweet fruit flavor and hey, we love fresh apples in this house!
