Three-Bean Salad

Sadly, my family does not share my love of the lowly legume, a powerhouse of fiber and nutrition.  Even though I'll be the only one enjoying this three-bean salad, it was well worth the making.  You can always skip the beans and use the dressing on lettuce or spinach salads.  It's sweet and simple.

Three Bean Salad

1-15 oz. can cannelli beans, drained and rinsed (these are often labeled as small white beans.)
1-15 oz. kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1-15 oz. garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 large red onion finely diced
2 celery stalks minced
1 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

Dressing:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup agave syrup or honey
sea salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the beans, onion, celery and parsley in medium bowl. 
Combine the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk well.
Add dressing to bean mixture and mix well.
Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
