Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Gently stir in the drained and rinsed kidney beans, chopped hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped green bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion into the mayonnaise mixture. Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 hrs

For optimal flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. (Minimum 120 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Serve chilled and enjoy the explosion of flavors.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
If you're short on time, the salad can be served immediately, but the flavors will deepen and improve with refrigeration.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to suit your personal taste preferences.
Make sure to finely chop the bell pepper and red onion for a more pleasant texture.
