Three Bean Summer Salad
- 2 apples, chopped
- 3 stalks of celery, chopped
- 3 cans of beans (I used pinto, black eyed and kidney)
For the Sauce
- 1/2 c. cider vinegar
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 1 TB agave syrup
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- chopped garlic
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Rinse all chopped ingredients and mix together thoroughly. Mix sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, and slowly pour over bean mixture. Toss until combined. Best if chilled in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can set.
This recipe can be used infinite ways. Eat salad by itself, top over kale or mixed greens, pack in a pita pocket, use as burrito stuffing, with tortilla chips, or serve over rice and quinoa- whatever you want!
