Honey Mustard Three Bean Salad
Description
The Honey Mustard Three Bean Salad blends green beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas along with fresh white onion for a variety of textures. The green beans are sliced and briefly blanched to soften yet maintain a crisp bite, then shocked in an ice bath to preserve color and texture.
The dressing is prepared by whisking yellow mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and neutral oil. This dressing coats the beans evenly, imparting a balance of sweet, tangy, and savory notes that enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.
The salad benefits from resting for a few hours beforehand, allowing the dressing to infuse into the beans and soften the onion's sharpness. It works well as a side dish with a variety of main courses or as a light, protein-rich salad on its own.
Seasoning with salt and pepper is adjusted after tossing the salad to taste, ensuring balanced seasoning throughout the dish.
Ingredients
- 8 oz green beans
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 Kidney Beans can
- 1 chickpeas canned
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Slice green beans into thirds. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath by filling a small bowl with ice cubes and cold water. Add sliced green beans to the pot of boiling water to blanch. Leave them in the boiling water for 5 minutes and then transfer to the ice bath.
- While the beans blanch, prepare the honey mustard dressing by whisking together the yellow mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, apple cider and oil. Set aside.
- Slice white onion into thin strips. Open, drain and rinse the cans of kidney beans and chickpeas. Add the kidney beans and chickpeas to a large mixing bowl along with the onion and blanched and drained green beans.
- Pour the honey mustard dressing into the bowl and toss to combine. Add the salt and pepper to the bowl and toss again.
Notes
- Allow the salad to rest for a few hours after mixing to let the dressing fully absorb and develop best flavor.
