Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, red onion, red bell pepper, and parsley.
Step 6
Pour the vinaigrette over the bean mixture, and toss everything gently to coat evenly.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir once halfway through marinating for even flavor distribution.
