Equipment

  • Can Opener
  • Strainer
  • Knife
  • Bowl
  • Tupperware container

Ingredients

  • 4 Celery Stalks Medium sized
  • 1 Orange Bell Pepper Can use green, red or yellow
  • 4 Tomatoes I used Campari tomatoes
  • 1 15.5 oz can Garbanzo Beans Also known as Chickpeas
  • 1 15.5 oz can Black Beans
  • 1 15.5 oz can Red Kidney Beans
  • 1/4 cup Italian Dressing I used Ken's Italian Dressing

Instructions

  • Wash and Dry celery, bell pepper and tomatoes.
  • Open cans of beans, pour into strainer to drain and rinse with cool water.
  • Medium dice celery, bell pepper and tomatoes into equal sized pieces.
  • Add beans, celery, bell pepper and tomatoes into a bowl or Tupperware container.
  • Add about a 1/4 cup of Ken's Italian Dressing and mix to combine.
  • I suggest taste testing to determine if more dressing is needed, based on personal preference.

Notes

You can adjust this recipe to your liking in so many ways:
  • Sometimes I add different vegetables
    • Sliced Cucumber, Green beans, Diced Carrots or Onions
  • Use different beans, such as Cannellini beans(white kidney beans)
  • Switch out the dressing to fit your preference
    • Even a simple oil and vinegar would work great (if you do this, I would recommend adding 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced)
 
Allowing the bean salad to marinate in the dressing for a couple hours is preferable to allow the juices to combine together. However, it is still very tasty to enjoy right away!
