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.

THREE BEAN SALAD
This dish is the equivalent of a compulsion I have upon receiving a compliment on an article of my clothing: I just have to say that it was only twenty dollars, on sale, and I am so proud of how cheap it is. My husband finds this humiliating. It's the same concept here: people will devour this dish, exclaiming how delicious it is, and you won't be able to stop yourself from telling them how little work it was. You really should just smile and accept the compliments: there's something incredibly satisfying about a dish that sings without your even trying. I think the key is the raw garlic and rosemary: they give an unexpected kick to familiar flavors.
