Ingredients

  • 1 can garbanzo beans(chick peas) i use the medium cans for all the beans...i think 15oz
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can white beans
  • 1 can small red beans
  • 1 can small pink beans or maybe even pinto beans
  • 1 medium red bell pepper,diced small
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper,diced small(if you are not a fan of green pepper and still want the color you can add chopped parsley or scallions)

  • 1 bottle honey mustard dressing...i use the low fat or fat free wishbone or newmans

How To Make 5 bean salad with honey mustard dressing

  • Step 1
    open all the cans into a collander and rinse well with cold water...gently mixing with your hand until the water runs clear(until all the starchy liquid is removed).
  • Step 2
    empty into large bowl, add diced peppers,onion and dressing and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
  • Step 3
    You can serve this right away but I will tell you if you refrigerate it for a few hours you will be very pleased as the peppers and onion marinade in the dressing it becomes so much better. ENJOY
  • Step 4
    @ As you can tell this recipe is easy to change around with your favorite beans,even green beans. I don't recommend the larger softer beans only because they break up while rinsing/mixing. If you like a zestier salad you can add red onion,chopped jalapeno.
