Three Bean Salad

Author: Sarah

Ingredients

For the ice bath:

  • 2 cups ice
  • 2 cups cold water

For the salad:

  • 8 ounces green beans (or use mix of green and yellow wax beans if you find them!)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 white onion (about 1 cup) diced
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar (or sub apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice cubes and water for the ice bath.
  • Cut green beans into 1 inch pieces. Place them in the boil water for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, immediately remove them and place them in the prepared ice bath.
  • Mix vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, maple syrup, and garlic in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Place the green beans, along with the garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and onions into a large bowl. Pour the dressing on top. Mix well and place into a container and seal tightly. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight to let the flavors mix together.
  • Enjoy!
