In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained green beans, wax beans, and kidney beans. Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and chopped red onion.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the white vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds (if using). Heat the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dressing mixture to cool to room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Pour the cooled dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl. Stir gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Serve chilled as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
