Steps:
- Place red potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Place pot on stove, cover and bring to a boil. Liberally salt water with coarse salt. Place a colander over boiling pot. Take your first ingredient from the bean salad, 1/2 pound cut fresh green beans, and place them in the colander. Cover the colander with pot lid. Steam beans 5 minutes while potatoes boil below. Remove beans and cold shock under running water. Drain green beans and set aside.
- When the potatoes are just tender, about 12 minutes, remove from heat, turn off burner, drain potatoes and cold shock them under running water until just cool enough to handle. Coarsely chop potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Add peppers, onions, mint, parsley and vinegar to the pot. Toss to allow the vinegar to absorb into the potatoes. Add oil and stir the potatoes until they mash up a bit and salad has a spoonable consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a serving bowl.
- In a bowl, combine mustard, sugar and vinegar. Whisk in oil. Add kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green beans and parsley to the bowl and toss to coat bean salad evenly with dressing. Season salad with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
THREE POTATO SALAD
This pretty salad - made with white, red and sweet potatoes - tastes as good as it looks. The mild dill dressing enhances the tender spuds and onion, especially if you refrigerate it overnight. Even those who don't like sweet potatoes like this salad. -Nan Cairo, Greenwood, Delaware

Steps:
- Fill a large pot halfway full with water and place over high heat. Add a few pinches of salt to the water if desired. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add the sweet potatoes and boil until almost fork-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for three more minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, kidney beans, and onion. Stir gently to combine, trying not to break up the sweet potatoes.
- To a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk until combined. Pour over the potatoes and beans. Toss gently to coat veggies with dressing. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for a warm potato salad (my preference) or chill until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Use a variety of beans with different textures and flavors, such as black beans, kidney beans, or chickpeas. Soaking the beans overnight before cooking will help them cook more evenly.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Sweet potatoes, corn, and bell peppers are all great choices for this salad. Roast the vegetables until they are slightly caramelized for a more flavorful dish.
- Make your own dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is all you need to dress this salad. You can also add a touch of honey or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Add some crunch: Chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. This will make the salad more satisfying and interesting to eat.
- Serve immediately or chill: This salad is best served immediately, but it can also be chilled for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Three-bean sweet potato salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also very easy to make. The next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
