Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- ½ English cucumber sliced
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh, finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Dressing
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Make the salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the 3 different types of beans, red onion, the cucumber, and parsley.
Make the dressing:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the dressing to the beans, and toss the salad to coat everything.
Chill and Serve:
- Transfer the salad to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the beans to soak up the flavor of the dressing. Serve.
Notes
- Drain and rinse the beans well to remove the salty and metallic flavors.
- Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.
- The dressing can be made up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
- I use honey instead of sugar to create that sweet-tangy flavor that is also healthier. It's a great alternative if you are looking for a no-sugar 3 bean salad.
