Cooking Up a Storm: Scott's 4 Bean Pantry Salad

Pick 4 cans of beans from the pantry, pour and rinse them in a colander over the sinkI like using

• 1 can drained rinsed red kidney beans
• 1 can drained rinsed cut green beens
• 1 can drained rinsed garbanzo beans
• 1 can drained rinsed black beans

Once the beans are rinsed set aside and make the dressing. It is super easy and delicious.

Homemade Dressing

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice1 teaspoon of parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/8 teaspoon salt

Now combine the beans with dressing and add the following:

• 1/2 one small red onion finally chopped
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries optional
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion optional

This is a quick and easy healthy salad that tastes better longer it marinates in fridge.
