Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green beans
- 400 grams Canned kidney beans
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Red wine vinegar
- 15 ml Honey
- 10 ml Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process, then drain and set aside.
Rinse and drain the canned kidney beans and chickpeas. Set aside.
Finely dice the red onion and red bell pepper. Chop the parsley finely.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, red onion, red bell pepper, and parsley.
Pour the vinaigrette over the bean mixture, and toss everything gently to coat evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir once halfway through marinating for even flavor distribution.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
