Packed with protein-rich green beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas, this salad is elevated by the briny tang of pimiento-stuffed green olives, creamy crumbles of feta, and a pop of freshness from parsley and red onion.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas.
Add the sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley or feta, if desired.
