THREE BEAN SALAD WITH CELERY
This salad recipe is great for summer picnics. It's delicious, quick, and easy to make. You can substitute the variety of beans in this recipe with other types and still have a great bean salad. I sometimes use cannellini beans in place of the green beans and it still tastes great!

HERBY THREE-BEAN SALAD
Ready for picnics and potlucks, this zippy take on a classically American three-bean salad features crunchy green beans, creamy chickpeas and cannellini beans (and is vegan, too). The marinated vegetables (fennel, celery and onions) add texture and a vinegary kick, while a mix of herbs lend complexity and freshness. Feel free to use whatever combination of canned beans you like; kidney beans are classic, black beans velvety, black-eyed peas earthy. You can prepare this salad up to four hours ahead and keep it at room temperature, or you can make it the day before and refrigerate it. Toss well and add more salt and vinegar, if needed, just before serving.

Steps:
- In a dry medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the green beans in Step 4), toast coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once the seeds are cool enough to handle, use a mortar and pestle to crack them, or place them on a cutting board and crack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Set aside.
- Fill the same saucepan you used for the coriander with salted water and bring to a boil.
- While waiting for the water to boil, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add onion along with fennel or celery, or both, and toss. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad.
- To the boiling water, add the green beans and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender. Immediately drain beans in a colander, then run cold tap water over them to stop the cooking. Once cool, pat them dry.
- Add the blanched green beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans, herbs and toasted coriander seeds to the marinated onions. Season with remaining salt and pepper, and gently toss to evenly combine. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed. (Keep in mind that you'll also be adding flaky salt to finish.) Drizzle with olive oil and flaky sea salt, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: For the best three-bean salad, use a variety of beans with different colors, textures, and flavors. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
- Cook the beans properly: If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time. Canned beans are a convenient option, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your three-bean salad the best flavor. Some good options include celery, onion, red bell pepper, and corn. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as carrots, cucumbers, or tomatoes.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a three-bean salad together. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings is a good option. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is flavorful and not too sweet.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Three-bean salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With a variety of beans, vegetables, and dressings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating a three-bean salad that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give three-bean salad a try.
