Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15 oz) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can cut green beans, drained
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the kidney beans, cannellini beans, green beans, red onion, celery, and parsley to the bowl.
  3. Fold everything together until evenly coated, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  4. Stir the salad again from the bottom, taste for salt, and spoon into a serving dish.

Notes

Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving so the beans absorb the dressing. For the deepest flavor, make it up to 8 hours ahead and give it a quick stir before spooning it out. Dried beans take this salad to the next level if you have time—cook them gently to keep them whole.
