This simple side dish is low on prep time, but big on flavor. While there are many different types of beans utilized in three bean salads, we love the combination of crisp haricot vert, tender kidney beans, and firm chickpeas. A bracing vinaigrette with red wine vinegar and Dijon keeps this salad feeling fresh.
