Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) garbanzo beans(chick peas) i use the medium cans for all the beans...i think 15oz
1 can(s) black beans
1 can(s) white beans
1 can(s) small red beans
1 can(s) 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 medium vidalia onion,diced small(or any sweet/mild onion)
1 bottle honey mustard dressing...i use the low fat or fat free wishbone or newmans

Steps:

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).
2. empty into large bowl, add diced peppers,onion and dressing and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
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
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.
