Three-Bean Salad

Serve these well-dressed beans on romaine or butter lettuce. Love white beans, chickpeas, or black beans? You can substitute 3 cups (about 2 cans) of any combination of beans for the kidneys and edamame.

Note:  good to put white beans in to absorb the taste of the dressing.  

Total time to prepare: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
½ lb. green beans, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
¼ cup minced red onion
1 Tbs. country dijon mustard
¼ tsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
1 15 oz. can no-salt-added kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Directions:
• Steam the green beans until tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, onion, mustard, sugar, and salt.
• Mix in the green beans, edamame, and kidney beans.
