Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    In a pot of boiling water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
