Five Bean Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (15 ounce) can green beans
    1 (15 ounce) can wax beans
    1 (15 ounce) can lima beans
    1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
    1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
    1 onion, chopped (I add the next day about an hour before serving, other wise it seems too strong)
    1 green pepper, chopped (my grandmother's recipe calls for this but we never put it in as we don't care for it)
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    1/2 cup vinegar
    3/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 -2 teaspoon celery seed
Preparation
    Drain all the beans and combine in a large bowl.
    Heat (but do not boil) (I do it in the microwave for about 1 minute) vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, dry mustard, and celery seed.
    Mix with bean mix and let stand overnight.
    Add onion/pepper about an hour before serving.
