Cool Beans 4 a Hot Day: My 5 Bean Salad 🌞

This is Killer recipe with 5 kinds of beans and a hint of
white onion/celery, all dressed in a tangy vinaigrette dressing!




Ingredients
• 14 ounces fresh green beans
• 14 ounces yellow beans
• 14 ounces red kidney beans
• 14 ounces garbanzo beans
• 14 ounces cannellini beans
• ½ cup green pepper large diced
• ¾ cup white onion large diced

Dressing
• ½ cup honey
• ½ cup white wine vinegar
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons Barons Caribbean Hot Sauce (optional)

Instructions
Drain all of the beans well. Rinse thoroughly Combine beans, green pepper, celery and onion in a bowl.
Heat all dressing ingredients in a small saucepan until sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot.
Pour the hot dressing mixture over the beans and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight turning
or stirring occasionally.

Notes
To ensure everything marinates evenly, I place this in a freezer bag or container with a lid and
shake or turn it a few times as it marinates.

Ingredient Tips
Beans: Any kind of beans are great in this recipe. This recipe can be made with dried beans or
fresh beans. Either will need to be cooked first.
Try any of the following:
• lima beans
• navy beans
• chickpeas/garbanzo beans
• cannellini

Onion: When purchasing the onion for this recipe, choose white onions with white papery skin
(not yellow skin) as they're milder and add great flavor.
Celery Seed: This is an important flavor in the dressing, ensure you are using celery seed (and
not celery salt). You can purchase celery seed in any spice asile (it is also a great addition to
coleslaw dressing).

Enjoy!
