Ingredients
- 2 cups Green Beans
- 15 ounces Canned Kidney Beans drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Garbanzo Beans drained and rinsed
- 3 Green Onions sliced
For The Dressing
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Beans. Drain and rinse your canned beans thoroughly under cold water. If using fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath for vibrant color and a tender-crisp texture.
- Make the Dressing. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until fully emulsified.
- Toss the Salad. In a large bowl, combine the beans, and green onion. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to coat.
- Chill & Marinate. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. This allows the beans to absorb all the delicious flavors.
- Serve. Give the salad a good stir before serving, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
