Steps:
- Fill a large pot halfway full with water and place over high heat. Add a few pinches of salt to the water if desired. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add the sweet potatoes and boil until almost fork-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for three more minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, kidney beans, and onion. Stir gently to combine, trying not to break up the sweet potatoes.
- To a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk until combined. Pour over the potatoes and beans. Toss gently to coat veggies with dressing. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for a warm potato salad (my preference) or chill until ready to serve.

SUPER EASY EXOTIC THREE BEAN SALAD
This is so easy and delicious. I am known for this dish at potlucks. This salad is very pretty as the three diffent colors sparkle in the dressing. I would describe it as 'sweet & sour.' You can use dark balsamic but it darkens the appearance of the salad. I also prefer to use canola oil and 'cut' beans. Once I didn't have the wax beans on hand so I used 1/2 can whole kernel corn. Worked 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 beans that retain their texture when cooked. Good options include black beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans.
- Soak beans overnight before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of salad dressing. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing will both work well with this salad.
- Add some crunch to the salad. Chopped nuts, seeds, or crumbled bacon would all be great additions.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs. Fresh cilantro, basil, or parsley would all be great choices.
