Ingredients

3/4 lb fresh green beans
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 stalk(s) celery chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/3 c finely chopped red onion
1 can(s) lima bean drained and rinsed
1 can(s) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
1 can(s) kidney beans drained and rinsed

Steps:

1. Trim green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook green beans until crisp tender; 3-4 minutes. Plunge into ice bath to stop the cooking process. When cooled drain well and cut into one inch pieces.
2. In a large bowl whisk together cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add celery, red pepper, red onions, Lima beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans and green beans. Stir to coat and chill for several hours. This recipe tastes best when allowed to marinate overnight. Stir several times to make sure the beans get down in the dressing.
