THREE BEAN SALAD by NancyC
Makes about 8 servings

1 (15-ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can green beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas), drained and rinsed
4 green onions, finely chopped (chop both the green stems and the white onion tip)—or you can substitute 1 medium chopped red onion
1 medium red or green bell pepper, chopped
Optional: 1 to 2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 to 4 Tablespoons honey, depending on how sweet you want it (or substitute 1/2 cup white sugar)
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

In large bowl, add drained and rinsed beans, then add the chopped green onions and bell pepper; toss all ingredients together with a large spoon.

In another bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the vinegar, oil, honey, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; whisk together or, if using a jar with lid, shake ingredients together well.

Pour this dressing mixture over the bean salad mixture, tossing gently to coat everything well.

Chill in your refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight before serving (the taste gets better the longer it marinates). Stir and toss mixture several times as it is marinating. Toss mixture once more right before serving.
