Summer Salads II: Kidney Bean Salad

My Kidney Bean Salad is so simple it's barely a recipe.  It is one of my favorite warm-weather side dishes.  It's relatively healthy, and a nice change of pace from potato or pasta salads.  Despite the deceptively few ingredients, it really is delicious.  The lemon juice is absolutely key - sometimes I add more than listed here.  The citrus tang with the beans is just perfect.

Lairdriin's Kidney Bean Salad
2 cans kidney beans, drained
1 rib celery, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp mayo
2 Tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything well.  Refrigerate for an hour.  Enjoy!

Happy eating!
