Servings: persons

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tiny peas
1 (14 ounce) can sliced carrots
1 medium onion
1 cup sugar
1 cup canola oil or 1 cup olive oil
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green pepper
3 -6 tablespoons Miracle Whip

1
Open cans of green beans, peas, and carrots and pour vegetables into a large strainer in the sink. Let vegetables drain for at least an hour, shaking strainer every so often to get rid of water.
2
When drained, put vegetables into a large bowl that has a lid that seals.
3
Slice onion into thin slices and then cut the slices in half or fourths. Put cut onion on vegetables.
4
In a small pan, heat to dissolve: sugar, oil and vinegar. Be careful to not breathe in the fumes as this mixture heats. I usually just bring it to a boil, stirring constantly.Marinade should be clear not cloudy. Remove pan from burner and let mixture cool to just warm.
5
Pour cooled marinade over vegetables and carefully stir so vegetables don't get mushy. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6
Next day drain salad in strainer in the sink for at least an hour. Pour salad back in bowl and add diced celery and green pepper. Add 3 tbsp Miracle Whip and gently stir to mix well. If it isn't creamy enough add up to 3 more tbsp Miracle Whip.
7
Salad is ready to serve and will keep for up to a week.
