Salad Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh green beans ends trimmed if needed
- 1 can Kidney or black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 can Garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 English cucumber chopped
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped
Light Italian Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine or champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey or agave
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Mix dressing ingredients together and set aside.
Steam green beans for 3 – 4 minutes, just until tender, then drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. (This helps stop them from cooking and helps them retain their bright green color). Cut beans into 1 inch pieces and add to a bowl.
Add remaining salad ingredients and pour dressing on top. Toss to coat.
