Three Bean Salad Recipe
Description
The Three Bean Salad blends three types of rinsed and drained canned beans—kidney, garbanzo, and cannellini—with crisp diced red onion, fresh parsley, and chopped celery stalks to provide a mixture of textures from creamy to crunchy. The dressing consists of apple cider vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper, whisked together to create balance between acidity, sweetness, and seasoning.
After combining the beans and vegetables in a large bowl, the dressing is poured over and stirred to thoroughly coat all ingredients. Refrigerating the salad for at least two hours, preferably overnight, allows the flavors to meld and deepen. This cold salad is convenient for preparing ahead and pairs well with casual meals, providing protein and freshness.
