Cape Cod Bean Salad

Cape Cod Bean Salad

 

While vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard, I ate this updated marinated bean salad and liked it so much; I got the recipe from the chef.  Enjoy at your next picnic.

15 ounces yellow beans

15 ounces green beans

15 ounces garbanzo beans

8 ounces artichoke hearts, drained

1 cup black olives, drained, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced

1/2 red onion, diced

Dressing:

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup Dijon

Salt & pepper to taste

 

Drain and rinse all the beans and toss with the artichoke hearts, olives, tomatoes, onion and capers.  Add the dressing and toss again.  Refrigerate until serving.  Serves 12
