- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley/coriander
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tsp extra virgin olive oil

Method
Bring lightly salted water to a boil. Cut green beans by cutting ends off a handful at once. This saves time. Cook green beans in lightly salted boiling water for just about 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain well in colander. Dry with paper towels so they don't dilute flavor with excess water. Drain and rinse chick peas & kidney beans. Let beans sit in colander for another couple of minutes to drain excess water. Mix all ingredients together. If you have the time, let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. It can keep in the refrigerator for a few days. Keep on hand for a quick meal.
Tip
: This is a healthy, fresh tasting bean salad that will give you an easy way to enjoy the many nutritional benefits of beans with little effort. The fresh herbs make it very flavorful, and it will keep in your refrigerator up to for 3-4 days. In fact, it actually gets better as it marinates.
