Three bean salad

Three bean salad

Ingredients 

14.5 oz.                                                                   Wax beans (fresh if you have them)

About 3 cups                                                         Fresh string beans

14.5 oz.                                                                   Black beans

About 2 tablespoons                                           Olive oil and lemon dressing

Directions 

When I used canned wax bean , I boiled the string beans in the wax bean water, 2 minutes, covered.  I like them crunchy.  I drain them, put them back in the pot, add the wax beans, rinsed black beans and dressing.  I mix them gently and transfert to a serving bowl or storage container.  It is good at room temperature or cold. 

Olive oil and lemon dressing

Ingredients 

2 cloves                                                               Grated garlic

1 tablespoon                                                      Greek seasoning (Italian works too)

5 squirts                                                              Mustard 

1/2 cup                                                                 Olive oil 

Zest and juice of one lemon.

Directions 

Put everything in a little jar, shake and add about 2 tablespoons, or to taste, to the warm beans.  It is so tasty, a little bit goes a long way.  The left over dressing is good with about any salad.

Let me know if you try it.
