3 Bean Salad - tastes like the real thing

We love three bean salad but the brand we prefer only comes in quart sized jars. Here's a low-fat, delicious recipe that can be easily be doubled to serve a crowd. Use canned, fresh or frozen cut green beans and for variety, try Italian beans (wide beans). Prepare the day before serving for the beans to become flavorful.

Ingredients:

2 cans - 15 oz. size Del Monte cut green beans
1 can Goya Garbonza - chick peas
1 can Goya dark red kidney beans
1/2 onion - red or white, thinly sliced
1/2 C white wine vinegar
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dijon or mild mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Penzeys Mural of Flavor (salt-free herb blend)
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 TB Splenda or sugar

Combine and mix all ingredients. Refrigerate overnight to serve the next day.
