		Red or white wine vinegar - as needed
1		Kidney beans - (16 oz) - drained, rinsed
1		Pickled beets - (16 oz) - drained
1/2 cup	118ml	Frozen green peas - thawed

1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried oregano
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Place the onion in a wide, shallow bowl and pour over enough vinegar to cover. Let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes.

In a serving bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the red or green leaf lettuce and toss.

Drain the red onion, reserving the vinegar. Add it to the other vegetables, along with about 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, or to taste. Save the remaining vinegar for another use.

Toss the salad well. Line each serving bowl with 2 or 3 leaves of red or green lettuce and place some of the salad over them.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
