  1. Combine ingredients: Add the chickpeas, kidney beans, cannellini beans, celery, red onion, and parsley into a large bowl. Stir to combine everything.

Notes

  1. Fresh herbs: Try swapping parsley for cilantro, and even adding a tiny bit of fresh rosemary! I recommend fresh herbs for this one for optimal flavor.
  2. Storing: Modern three bean salad can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a week.
