Three bean salad

I made this one day for a picnic with the fam and my husband loved it so much he requested that i make it again to bring to our friends luau the next weekend. Thankfully it was well received there too. I'm pretty sure that makes this one a keeper.

3 Bean Salad
1/2 can great northern beans (just freeze the other half of the beans)
1/2 can kidney beans
2 handfuls of green beans snapped into bite size pieces*
2 green onions (or a slice of red onion finely diced)
1/4 c cider vinegar
2 T olive oil
1T honey
1/4 t ground mustard
1/4 t garlic
salt and pepper
other spices you may like to add: a pinch of cayenne OR chopped fresh basil OR chopped fresh parsley

First saute the green bean pieces with a spritz of olive oil and some salt until they have a little color on them, about 5-8 minutes. Then in a bowl stir together all your dressing/spice ingredients. top with all three kinds of beans and toss to coat.

*I guess if it's not green bean season you could use canned and skip the saute...but canned green beans taste rubbery to me so i'll only be making this with fresh beans.
