Ingredients
- 200 grams Green beans
- 200 grams Kidney beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 200 grams Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 small Red onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain well and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, diced red onion, and chopped parsley.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Step 4
Pour the orange vinaigrette over the bean mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 5
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
