Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Drain the green beans immediately and transfer them to a bowl of ice water, or rinse under very cold water until cooled. Drain well.
Rinse and drain the kidney beans and chickpeas. Slice the celery, finely dice the red onion, and chop the parsley.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, celery, red onion, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Before serving, give the salad another toss. Taste and adjust with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.

Notes

This salad is easy to prepare in advance—just keep it chilled until serving.
Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preferences or what’s in season.
