Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans - drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans - drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans - drained and rinsed
  • ½ medium red onion - peeled and diced
  • 3 stalks celery - chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley - chopped

For the Vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Mix together the salad ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, first mix together the red onion, celery, and parsley. Add the beans (garbanzo, cannellini, kidney) and gently toss to combine.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette - In a separate, smaller bowl or mason jar, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Combine - Drizzle the beans with the prepared vinaigrette and toss well to coat.
    Optional- allow the vinaigrette-soaked beans to chill in the refrigerator for an hour or so to allow them to absorb the flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to use your favorite canned beans to make this recipe including green beans, wax beans, or black beans.
  • If you're sensitive to the spiciness of red onion, soak your chopped onion in a bowl of cool water for a few minutes to take the edge off. Just be sure to drain the water before adding to the salad.
