"A lower calorie/sugar/carb summer 3-bean salad"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 1/2 cup
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can wax beans
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can French style green beans
• 1⁄2 cup champagne vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced dried onion
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3⁄4 teaspoon nectresse brand granulated artificial sweetener
• 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed

directions

1. In a medium sized bowl, or the container you will store the salad, mix together the garbanzo beans, wax beans, and french style green beans.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remainder of the ingredients (champagne vinegar down to the celery seeds on this list above), and whisk until well combined.
3. Pour the liquid over the beans and mix to blend.
4. NOTE: Best if it can sit for at least 8-10 hours in the fridge prior to serving. If you must serve sooner than that, I recommend using about 2 TB of fresh onion, diced, in place of the dried minced onion.

Had to use white wine vinegar and Splenda and got a very enjoyable salad. I love that this delivers a lot of flavor while remaining low in fat. Made for PAC, Spring 2014.
