Ingredients

  • 1 large Bell Pepper (red, yellow, or orange) about 1 cup
  • 4 Celery stalks From the heart *see note
  • ½ cup Red Onion
  • cup Fresh Parsley
  • cup Fresh Basil
  • 1 can Green Beans 14 ounce can
  • 1 can Black Beans 14 ounce can
  • 1 can Cannellini Beans 14 Ounce can
  • 1 can Garbanzo Beans 14 ounce can
  • 3 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Dice the bell pepper, red onion, and celery into small pieces and add them to a large bowl.
  • Chop the fresh herbs and add them to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.
  • Drain the beans into a large colander. Run water over the beans and drain them well.
  • Add the beans to the bowl with the vegetables.
  • Add the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper. Mix everything well to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • The inside stalks of the celery are much more tender, so try to get 4 stalks from the inside.  It's ok to chop the leaves as well, they are tender and add flavor.  If you only have the outside stalks of the celery, use 2 large stems instead of 4 smaller ones.
  • Feel free to substitute any four cans of beans.  Pick beans for the texture but also their color.
  • Keep the bean salad in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
