MY THREE BEAN SALAD-NO SUGAR
I wasn't going to post this recipe because there are so many bean salad recipes out there, but my search for one similar to this came up blank. This is more fresh and less sweet than most of the three bean salads I found. Also, I use garbanzo beans instead of the usual wax beans. Did not include time to marinate since this can be eaten right away, but is much better a few hours or a day later.

Tips:
- Choose a variety of beans: Using a mix of different beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and garbanzo beans, adds color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
- Rinse and soak the beans: Before cooking the beans, rinse them well and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This helps to remove any impurities and reduce the cooking time.
- Cook the beans properly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the beans. Make sure to cook them until they are tender but not mushy.
- Use fresh vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will taste. Choose crisp, colorful vegetables that are in season.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a combination of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices to create a dressing that is both tangy and flavorful.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
