Gramma's 4 Bean Salad
From Shawn

This recipe for 4 bean salad was handed down from my grandmother to my mother to me and my sister's.  I can always remember asking my gramma to make this salad and her wonderful southern fried chicken.  She was a wonderful cook with southern traditions which were passed down from generation to generation.  Both my mother and grandmother have passed away recently and my comfort when I'm missing them terribly, is to make their wonderful recipes they passed on to me. Hope you enjoy!

1/2 C sugar
