Dressing
- 1/2 cup Oil (such as olive or vegetable oil)
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tbsp Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
Instructions
- Prepare the Beans: Drain the juice from all canned beans thoroughly. Combine kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green beans, yellow beans, and lima beans in a large mixing bowl to form the bean base of the salad.
- Add Vegetables and Olives: Dice the fresh green onions and slice the black olives then add them to the bowl with the beans. These add texture and flavor to the salad.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate jar or small bowl, combine the oil, honey, lemon juice, and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is well emulsified and blended.
- Combine and Marinate: Pour the dressing over the bean mixture in the bowl. Gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Marinate the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a sealed container. Refrigerate and allow the salad to marinate for at least 6 hours, occasionally stirring gently to distribute the dressing and enhance the flavor infusion.
