This 3-bean salad recipe is a perfect addition to your summer picnics and cookouts. I love an easy bean salad recipe that you can make ahead of time and enjoy as a great side dish or main dish. With its tangy dressing and combination of black beans, garbanzo beans, and cannellini beans, this salad is not only delicious but also packed with simple ingredients that are good for you.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until the dressing is well combined.
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, ⅓ cup red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ⅓ cup olive oil
Add the drained and rinsed beans, chickpeas, chopped red onion, celery, yellow bell pepper, garlic, parsley, celery and oregano to the bowl.
1 can cannellini beans, 1 can chickpeas, 1 can black beans, ½ cup chopped red onion, 1 yellow bell pepper, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 2 tablespoon fresh oregano, ½ cup chopped fresh celery
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least an hour before serving, or refrigerate overnight for best results.
