Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh green beans cut into 1-inch pieces (see note)
- 8 ounces canned yellow wax beans drained and rinsed
- 8 ounces canned red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white onion minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanche the green beans for 2 minutes. Use tongs or a spider strainer to transfer them directly into an ice bath. Then dry the beans with paper towels.
- After rinsing the canned beans, place all of the beans into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the beans and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
- Allow the bean salad to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to come up to room temperature before eating. Toss the beans in the dressing one more time just before serving.

Notes
- If you prefer, you can use 8 ounces of canned green beans instead of fresh. Just drain and rinse them and proceed as directed. I prefer the bright green color of fresh green beans for this recipe.
