Classic 5-Bean Salad
This Classic 5-Bean Salad is a colorful mix of black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green beans and wax beans, tossed with crisp veggies and a tangy vinaigrette. Perfect for summer cookouts, picnics or make-ahead lunches! If you can use a can opener, you can make this Classic 5-Bean Salad. It’s vegan, vegetarian and Plant-Based Whole30 compatible. There’s something about this classic salad that reminds me of grandmas and church potlucks. The nostalgia of it all comes through in a vinegary dressing that’s so simple, too. The key is to make the salad a day in advance, so it has time to marinate in the refrigerator.
