Asian-Style Three Bean Salad image

By Ellie Krieger, as featured in her book "The Food You Crave" and also in Fitness Magazine. Three-bean salad gets an exciting Asian twist, made with a trio of legumes all commonly used in the Far East: green beans, edamame and black beans. The dressing is sweet and tangy just as in the traditional recipe, but this one, inspired by Chinese duck sauce, gets its sweetness from apricot preserves and has a zingy hint of fresh ginger.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
