Three Bean Salad

As a kid, Three Bean Salad never looked very appealing to me. Over the last year I've been trying things that I had never really thought about trying before. Today was the day for the beans!

I made the salad last night so it had time to marinate before my lunch today. I was quite surprised at how good it was. The onions and celery were nice and  crispy, the beans were soft and chewy. My favorite part was the onions. When I was mixing the salad together I thought it looked like I had added too many, but now I'm glad I did!!


Three Bean Salad

1 can Garbanzo Beans
1 can Kidney Beans
1 1/2 cups frozen Green Beans (or 1 can)
1 medium Onion (I used a large onion, but it was a lot of onion)
2 stalks Celery
2/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 cup Olive Oil
3-6 cloves Garlic (I love garlic)
1 Tbsp Black Pepper (and I love black pepper)


I thawed the frozen green beans under running water and rinsed and drained the canned beans. Add to a large bowl. Slice onion, chop celery, dice garlic and add to beans. Add vinegar, oil and black pepper.
Stir.

Super simple :)

Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours stirring occasionally.


Happy Eating!
