Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice fresh
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 3/4 tsp. salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
For the salad:
- 3-4 cups green beans fresh, trimmed, cut into 1 inch sections
- 1, (15.5 oz. can) Kidney Beans drained and rinsed
- 1, (15.5 oz. can) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 1, (15 oz. can) black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 avocado diced
- 1 bell pepper red, yellow or orange; thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber cut into quarters
- 1/2 red onion diced small
- 2 Tbsp. parsley fresh, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. oregano fresh, finely chopped
Instructions
- Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the green beans until crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the green beans and then plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Then once they're cooled, drain them again and add them to a large salad bowl.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients to the green beans and stir.
- Pour the dressing on top and toss until coated.
- Chill the salad prior to serving for at least 1-2 hours for optimal flavor. Garnish the salad with more herbs and avocado and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. The flavors really get better as it sits!
