Three Bean Salad

Step 1

Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Strain the beans and immediately place them into the ice water for about 30-60 seconds until cooled. Remove the ice then drain the beans again and set aside.

Step 2

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, agave, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine and dress the salad: In a large bowl, (you can use the same one that was used for chilling green beans) add the onion, chickpeas, kidney beans, green beans, and parsley, and gently toss combine. Now pour the dressing on top and toss again to combine. Cover and chill for 1 hour, tossing midway through. Taste for seasoning then serve.
