Ingredients
Scale
½ cup red onion (finely diced)
1 can black beans (15oz, rinsed and drained)
1 can kidney beans (15oz, rinsed and drained)
1 can chickpeas (15oz, rinsed and drained)
½ cup celery (finely diced)
½ cup cilantro (roughly chopped)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp maple syrup
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp lime zest
2 tsp salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, maple syrup, extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, zest of lime, and salt. Whisk everything together until it's well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the three types of cooked beans that you've rinsed and drained. Then toss in the finely diced red onion and celery, along with the roughly chopped cilantro.
Pour your freshly made dressing over the bean mixture. Gently toss everything together until every bean is coated in that zesty goodness.
Store your salad in the fridge for several hours before serving to allow all those flavors to mingle beautifully.
