Three Bean Salad
Description
This Three Bean Salad features a mix of crunchy fresh green beans, buttery canned butter beans, and mild yellow wax beans. The green beans are briefly boiled and then shocked in ice water to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture. The dressing is a blend of Dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper, which coats the beans evenly, enhancing the natural flavors. After marinating in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours, the salad delivers a refreshing and slightly tangy profile. Letting it come to room temperature before serving helps the dressing coat the beans evenly again, with an option to drain excess liquid if needed.
