Ingredients

• 1 cup Dr Pepper
• 1 cup green beans
• 1 cup kidney beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
• 1 cup garbanzo beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup red onion (finely diced)
• 0.5 cup bell pepper (finely diced, any color)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim and cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch long.

Step 2

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained kidney beans, garbanzo beans, blanched green beans, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dr Pepper, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.

Step 5

Pour the Dr Pepper dressing over the bean mixture and toss thoroughly to evenly coat.

Step 6

Cover the salad with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
