-1 tsp black pepper
-1 medium yellow onion (approx. ¾ cup chopped)
– 2-3 celery stalks (approx. ¾ cup chopped)
-½ large green pepper (approx. 1 cup chopped)

-1 cup cut green beans
-1 cup cut wax(yellow) beans
-1 cup mixed beans
Instructions
-Drain and rinse your chick peas, red kidney beans, green, wax and mixed beans. Then, place in a large bowl.
-In a separate bowl, make your dressing by combining; oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
-Thinly slice and dice your 1/2 green pepper, celery and yellow onion, then add to the large bowl of mixed beans.
-Pour the dressing over your salad ingredients and toss.
-Cover and refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally.
-When ready, spoon bean salad into a serving bowl using a slotted spoon to drain off excess dressing before serving.
ENJOY!
Notes
You can use a different brand of kidney beans than I use. I used Goya because they are lower in points. This is the only reason I picked this
