• 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and prepare a large bowl with ice water for blanching.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and yellow wax beans, then cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 2 inches).

Step 3

Blanch the green beans and yellow wax beans in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender, then immediately transfer them to the ice water to cool. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched beans, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss until well coated.

Step 7

Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
