Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
• 1 can (15 oz) canned kidney beans
• 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 0.5 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas, kidney beans, and black beans under cold running water. This will help remove any excess sodium and ensure a fresh taste.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, kidney beans, and black beans.

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper, cucumber, finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the beans.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the mixed beans and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the salad ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if desired.

Step 7

Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
