Three Bean Salad

It’s August and you know what that means. The dog days of summer are upon us. Schools are getting back in session and we are all about trying to squeeze the last bit of summer fun with beach trips, pool parties, and barbeques.

This is the perfect addition to your summer grill plans. Crisp and cool it’s a delicious side that can compliment burgers to chicken. Simple and easily put together too!

What you’ll need:
1 can 15oz black beans, drained
1 can 15oz red kidney beans, drained
1 can 15oz cannellini beans, drained
1 medium celery stick, finely chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 small bunch parsley, chopped

The dressing:
3 TBS olive oil
2 TBS apple cider vinegar*
2 garlic cloves, minced
Smidge of cayenne pepper

What you’ll do:
Mix the first five ingredients together in a bowl, stirring until well mixed
In a small jar or mixing bowl combine dressing ingredients
Stir or shake until well mixed and everything is living in harmony together
Pour over bean mixture
Stir until everything is well coated
Refrigerate until ready to serve


*We like a bit of tang to ours but the original recipe called for just 1 TBS apple cider vinegar so you may want to start there and taste before adding more.

Enjoy!
