Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz) can Kidney Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-oz) can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-oz) can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp red wine vinegar to taste
  • 1 tsp oregano dried
  • 1 small garlic finely minced, optional, clove
  • sea salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Open all three cans of beans and drain them into a colander (strainer) in the sink. Run cool faucet water over the beans to rinse them well. Give the colander a shake to shake off any excess water. If you’d like, you can use paper towels to pat the beans dry to remove more moisture. Transfer the drained and rinsed beans to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the dressing ingredients (oil, vinegar, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper (and fresh minced garlic if adding)) until combined.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette into the large bowl with the beans and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything together until the beans are well-coated.
  4. Taste the bean salad for flavor and add more salt and pepper, oil and vinegar to your personal taste.
  5. Serve bean salad as a side dish alongside any main dish and enjoy!
  6. Store leftover bean salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
