Bean salad is a common cold salad composed of various cooked beans -- (green beans, yellow wax beans, garbanzos (chick peas), kidney beans--and typically fresh onions, peppers or other vegetables, tossed in a vinaigrette, characteristically sweetened with sugar. Bean salad can be prepared as a pickled dish. It is common in some parts of the United States to refer to this sort of salad by the number of different beans it contains; e.g., "Three Bean Salad" or "Four Bean Salad." The generic term, "Bean Salad," can also be used to refer to completely unrelated dishes, including variants with such starches as barley, pasta noodles or rice.

History
Salads of this type have commonly been used since at least the 19th century for picnics and outings, as the principal ingredients have already been cooked and the vinaigrette helps preserve the dish temporarily without refrigeration.
