Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green beans
- 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 1 cup Kidney beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, red onion, celery, and parsley.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
