Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until still very crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to the ice water until cool. Cut in half.
- Whisk together the oil, honey, mustard, vinegar and garlic in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the green beans, lima beans, kidney beans, white beans, almonds, cranberries and scallions and toss until everything is coated. Season to taste. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day.
MARINATED BEAN SALAD
Steps:
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini brine, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing. Pour over the bean mixture and toss well. Season with salt if needed. This salad can be made a day ahead --- the green beans may discolor a bit because of the lemon juice but will taste even better with the longer marination time.

MARINATED 4 BEAN SALAD
Yep, another bean salad recipe. This one is a bit different with its marinade ingredients. It's my mom's favorite for every get-together. It's also great for potlucks and picnics. I always come home with an empty bowl. Prepare ahead of time to let the flavors meld for 24 hours, then drain off the marinade juices. (Marinating time is not included in prep time listed.) It's soooo good!

FOUR-BEAN SALAD
"MY MOTHER gave me this recipe. It was actually a three-bean salad, but I added the garbanzo beans (which are also know as chick peas). It goes over big at potlucks because it's not too sweet and not too sour. Be careful to get the vinegar and sugar mixture just right-no guessing on the amounts!"

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality beans. If using canned beans, rinse them well before using.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made vinaigrette dressing. However, it's easy to make your own dressing with olive oil, vinegar, and a few seasonings.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- Be sure to marinate the beans for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- This salad is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Four-bean salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer potlucks and picnics. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans. With its variety of beans, vegetables, and dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
