Marinated Three Bean Salad Food

OUR FAVORITE MARINATED 3 BEAN SALAD (GREAT FOR MEAL PREP)

Steps:

• Prepare an ice batch by filling a large mixing bowl with lots of ice and then water, set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil ( you can have the water coming to a boil while you trim your green beans). Once the water has come to a boil add the green beans and allow them to sit in the hot water for 30 seconds to 1 minute - they will turn bright green. Once the beans have been blanched immediately transfer them into the ice bath by using a slotted spoon. Allow them to hang out int he ice bath for at least 5 minutes. Once they are cooled down drain them from the water and remove any ice cubes - set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper - whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust any seasoning or flavors.
• To the mixing bowl with the dressing add the green beans that have been chilled and drained from the ice bath, along with the drained and rinsed red kidney beans and chickpeas, and the red onion. Stir to combine.
• Allow the salad to chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours, although 8 hours (or overnight) is best. It really isn't as good served room temperature. The longer it chills in the fridge the more the dressing "marinates" the veggies adding tons of flavor to them. This salad is really best made one day in advance.
• Give the salad a good stir serve in bowls or on plates. Sprinkle some feta cheese over top, if desired.
• This salad makes great leftovers and gets even better the longer it sits. It will keep in the fridge for up to one 1 week.

Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.

HERBY THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a dry medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the green beans in Step 4), toast coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once the seeds are cool enough to handle, use a mortar and pestle to crack them, or place them on a cutting board and crack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Set aside.
• Fill the same saucepan you used for the coriander with salted water and bring to a boil.
• While waiting for the water to boil, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add onion along with fennel or celery, or both, and toss. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad.
• To the boiling water, add the green beans and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender. Immediately drain beans in a colander, then run cold tap water over them to stop the cooking. Once cool, pat them dry.
• Add the blanched green beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans, herbs and toasted coriander seeds to the marinated onions. Season with remaining salt and pepper, and gently toss to evenly combine. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed. (Keep in mind that you'll also be adding flaky salt to finish.) Drizzle with olive oil and flaky sea salt, and serve.
