Description
A refreshing and tangy salad made with green beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, and fresh herbs. Perfect for a light lunch or a vibrant side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces green beans (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup very thinly sliced red onion
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1½ cups cooked kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 celery ribs (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and set a bowl of ice water nearby. Drop the green beans into the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes. Remove the beans and immediately immerse in the ice water long enough to cool completely, about 15 seconds. Drain and place on paper towels or a kitchen towel to dry.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, mustard, honey, and salt. Add the onion, chickpeas, kidney beans, celery, green beans, and parsley, and toss to coat. Chill for 1 hour, then serve.
Notes
You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version. This salad tastes even better after it’s had time to marinate.
