Three Bean Marinated 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.
