Three Bean Salad

This salad is both filling and refreshing. I love taking it for lunch instead of a sandwich.

Three Bean Salad



Dressing:

¼ cup vinegar (Red wine and white balsamic, or all one or the other or different kind!)

3 -4 TBSP olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, crushed

Pinch of crushed red pepper

½ tsp onion powder, dill

1-2 TBSP honey or sugar

Salt to taste

¼ tsp black pepper



 2 cups green beans, trimmed cut into one-inch pieces

Half red onion, sliced thin and chopped finely

1 can kidney beans, well rinsed

1 can garbanzo beans, well rinsed
2-3 stalks of Celery, finely diced

1/3 cup chopped parsley



Blanche green beans (Boil a few minutes then drain and place in a bowl of ice water).


Put all dressing ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.

Add beans, onions, celery, and parsley together.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This should last for several days but if it needs a little refreshing add more vinegar and salt.
