Calico Salad


I heart this bean salad. 

And I've tried a lot.  A LOT.  I've tried different beans.  Different dressings.  And this one is my all time fave.
When this is in the fridge I eat it all day.  And I've even been known to have it for breakfast! 

If you want to make it super fast just open some cans, use jarred jalepenos and leave out the onion. 

Calico Salad

2 C. each kidney, chick peas, and green beans
1 jalepeno seeded and chopped fine
1/4 red onion chopped fine

Mix all together.  And make the dressing....

8 oz olive oil
juice of one lemon + enough apple cider vinegar to make 4 oz.
1 garlic clove minced
1 squirt of dijon mustard
1 tsp each salt, pepper, italian seasoning.

Shake in a jar and pour over beans.  Refrigerate and TRY to wait patiently.
