Green Bean Salad

This is my variation on a traditional 3 bean salad. I use a simple homemade mustard vinaigrette or Newman's Own Balsamic depending on ingredients at hand and time.

1 can each, well drained and rinsed:

Del monte cut green beans
Del monte dill green beans
Light red kidney beans
Cannellini beans

Toss with vinaigrette. Add 1-2 cups thinly sliced English or Persian cucumbers.
Add chopped chives and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and 1-2 cups yellow and red baby tomatoes.
I make variations of this salad by adding chopped hearts of palm, artichoke hearts or kalamata olives.
Serve at room temperature, travels well. This is an ideals salad if you trying to eat more plant based and has the added benefit of being very very low Weight Watcher points.
