Ingredients

• 1 can canned black soybeans
• 1 can canned green beans
• 1 can canned wax beans
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 celery stalks
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans, green beans, and wax beans in a colander under cold running water. Allow them to drain thoroughly while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, celery stalks, and red onion into small, even pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained beans, diced red bell pepper, celery, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley for a bright, herby note.

Step 7

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can be served immediately as well.

Step 8

Before serving, give the salad a final toss. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
