Chili Spiced 3 Bean Salad

1 can kidney beans

1 can garbanzo beans

1 can pinto beans

1 can corn

1 large stock celery, diced

5 green onions, thinly sliced – including tops

¼ C fresh, chopped parsley (or equivalent)

1 4-oz. can diced green chiles

Dressing:

¼ C olive oil

¼ C wine or cider vinegar

1 clove garlic, pressed or minced

1 tsp salt

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp oregano leaves

¼ tsp ground cumin

dash pepper

Drain & rinse the beans & corn. Place ingredients for dressing in a jar and shake to mix. Pour over bean mixture and stir. Cover & refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

**I added a can of black beans, but then I needed another ½ batch of the dressing.

I used chives instead of green onions and cilantro instead of parsley.
