A healthy, colorful salad made with green beans and two kinds of kidney beans, bell pepper, onion and a bright dressing. A flavorful side dish and nice change from the classic side salad.
In a small mixing bowl or jar whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard and salt, set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile fill a medium mixing bowl with ice and water and set aside.
Once water is boiling, add green beans and allow to boil about 3 - 4 minutes until tender. Drain and immediately transfer to ice water. Let rest for a few seconds then drain well.
Add green beans, dark and light red kidney beans, bell pepper, red onion and parsley to a salad bowl.
Whisk dressing mixture until well combined then pour over salad. Toss to evenly coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
Give the salad a good stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Homemade three bean salad will last 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Keep in mind that it's best when enjoyed within 24 hours of making it.
