EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD
Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, chopped peppers, onions, capers and fresh herbs. Mix using a wooden spoon.
- In a small bowl, add the vinaigrette ingredients. Whisk vigorously to combine.
- Add the vinaigrette to the salad bowl. Toss to coat.
- For best results, cover and refrigerate for a bit before serving so that beans soak up the vinaigrette flavors. Give the salad another quick toss before serving.

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.

THREE BEAN SALAD WITH PIMIENTO-STUFFED GREEN OLIVES AND FETA
Tons of flavor in this salad! This salad needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight before serving. The first time I made this salad, I added in 1 teaspoon of fresh garlic to the oil blend, but found the garlic to be too strong for this salad, as this salad has just too many other flavors going on to add in anything else, my advise is if you are tempted to add in any garlic, don't, the salad is delicious without it! This salad serve 6 people easily, you can double all ingredients to serve a crowd.

HERBY THREE-BEAN SALAD
Ready for picnics and potlucks, this zippy take on a classically American three-bean salad features crunchy green beans, creamy chickpeas and cannellini beans (and is vegan, too). The marinated vegetables (fennel, celery and onions) add texture and a vinegary kick, while a mix of herbs lend complexity and freshness. Feel free to use whatever combination of canned beans you like; kidney beans are classic, black beans velvety, black-eyed peas earthy. You can prepare this salad up to four hours ahead and keep it at room temperature, or you can make it the day before and refrigerate it. Toss well and add more salt and vinegar, if needed, just before serving.

Steps:
- In a dry medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the green beans in Step 4), toast coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once the seeds are cool enough to handle, use a mortar and pestle to crack them, or place them on a cutting board and crack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Set aside.
- Fill the same saucepan you used for the coriander with salted water and bring to a boil.
- While waiting for the water to boil, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add onion along with fennel or celery, or both, and toss. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad.
- To the boiling water, add the green beans and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender. Immediately drain beans in a colander, then run cold tap water over them to stop the cooking. Once cool, pat them dry.
- Add the blanched green beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans, herbs and toasted coriander seeds to the marinated onions. Season with remaining salt and pepper, and gently toss to evenly combine. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed. (Keep in mind that you'll also be adding flaky salt to finish.) Drizzle with olive oil and flaky sea salt, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose flavorful beans. Great Northern, kidney, and black beans are all good choices for this salad. For a more colorful salad, use a mix of different types of beans.
- Rinse and drain the beans well before using. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the salad less likely to be mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Chopped celery, red onion, and cucumber are all good additions to this salad. You can also add other vegetables, such as chopped carrots, bell peppers, or corn.
- Use a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good choice. You can also use a store-bought dressing, such as Italian or Greek dressing.
- Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Three-bean salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a healthy and nutritious dish, packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. With a few simple tips, you can make a three-bean salad that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
