Ingredients
- 1 cup Green beans
- 1 cup Kidney beans (canned)
- 1 cup Garbanzo beans (canned)
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 2
Rinse and drain the canned kidney beans and garbanzo beans. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley. Add them to the mixing bowl with the beans.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the beans and vegetables, and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
