Easy 5 Bean Salad
🫘🙌🏻🥗 The BEST bean salad with 5 types of beans, artichoke hearts, red onions, veggies, and takes just 10 MINUTES to prepare! Everything is tossed in a tangy, savory yet slightly sweet vinaigrette that ties everything together perfectly. Serve this as a protein-packed side dish for dinner, at picnics and potlucks, or as a stand-alone healthy lunch option. The recipe is EXTREMELY flexible, too!For the beans: I select no-salt added or low-salt varieties when possible. Rinsing not only removes the canning residue but some of the salt, too. Can sizes are approximate and if you find cans that range from 14 to 16 ounces, it's perfectly fine.
