Meatless Monday: Fast & Easy Three-Bean Salad

Fourth of July is right around the corner. I plan on spending it with my family at a friend’s BBQ and want to bring something healthy but filling that everyone will enjoy. I decided on this Fast & Easy Three-Bean Salad. It’s a great dish to serve during the summer, especially for barbecue’s and potluck gatherings. The celery, parsley and rosemary give this dish a nice, fresh taste. And best of all, you can just throw all the ingredients into one bowl and it takes no more than 15 minutes!
I enjoy eating this on its own, over salad greens, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can kidney beans
  • 1 15 oz can garbanzo beans

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
