Ingredients

1/2 pound green beans, trimmed, cut in half crosswise
1/2 pound wax beans, trimmed cut in half crosswise
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed, and drained
1/2 small red onion, minced, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and drained
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water. Add the fresh beans to the boiling water, and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and plunge the beans into the ice water to stop the cooking and set their color. Drain.

In a medium bowl, combine the beans and the onion. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, vinegar, oil, and salt to a simmer. Pour the liquid over the beans. Marinate the beans at room temperature for 1 hour, tossing several times. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the parsley. Serve.

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the salad using the recipe, with a few exceptions. I used canned green beans, kidney beans, wax beans and chickpeas... instead of fresh. In the marinade I used white wine vinegar as a substitute for the cider vinegar then added a liberal splash of cider vinegar to it. It is wonderful, the flavors meld together very well.Read more

Tasty & easy with my tweaking
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Used a can of drained green beans & a can of wax, instead of the fresh. Time factor. I also added a can of garbanzo beans,... drained & rinsed, as well as 1/2 green pepper & 1/2 red pepper chopped. Substituted olive for the vegetable oil, for health & taste reasons. I love the method of heating the sauce, makes a huge difference. Thanks.Read more
