Method
- Open the cans of black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas. Pour them into a colander and rinse under cold water. Let them drain well.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes in half, finely chop the red onion, and chop the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Chop the fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until well blended. Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained beans, chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.
- If using avocado, fold it in carefully to avoid mashing. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour for best flavor.
- Serve the salad as a main dish or side, garnished with additional herbs or cheese if desired.
