Instructions
Make the Dressing:
Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
Steam the Beans:
Add water to a medium pot.
Add a steam basket to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
When the water is boiling, add green beans to the steamer basket, cover it, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Steam for 5-6 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Make Ice Bath:
While the beans are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice and water.
When the beans are done, drain them and place them into the bowl of ice water.
Make Salad:
Add garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and sliced onion in a large bowl.
Add green beans after draining them.
Whisk the dressing another time before pouring it over the salad.
Toss the salad to coat.
Cover the salad and refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight before serving.
