Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can canned black soybeans
- 1 can canned green beans
- 1 can canned wax beans
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 celery stalks
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans, green beans, and wax beans in a colander under cold running water. Allow them to drain thoroughly while you prepare the other ingredients.
Dice the red bell pepper, celery stalks, and red onion into small, even pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained beans, diced red bell pepper, celery, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley for a bright, herby note.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can be served immediately as well.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
