Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Mix thoroughly before service.

Steps:

• In large pot or soup kettle, cover rinsed beans with cold water and bring to slow boil. Cook over low heat, uncovered, adding water as it cooks down. Keep the water level just below the level of the beans. With wooden spoon, turn beans occasionally to ensure even cooking. Cooking time is hard to judge, so test occasionally by pinching a bean. The beans should be soft but not mushy. (We found about two hours adequate.) Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add parsley and onion, and mix gently. Add small amounts of vinegar, tasting as you do so. Refrigerate until serving time.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together beans, onion, garlic, mayonnaise, and relish. Season with salt, white pepper, and mustard. Mix well, and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
