Fresh Three-Bean Salad image

A classic 3-bean salad using fresh green and wax beans. I use Westbreae Organic Salad Beans instead of just kidney beans for the canned beans. It is a mix of kidney, pinto and garbanzo beans. I guess that makes this a 5 bean salad... I suggest eating this on the same day. This is still tasty the next day, but the color of the green beans will change over time. Please note that the cooking time includes the 1 hour of marinating.
