Crisp green beans, hearty kidney beans, and chickpeas come together in this bright, no-fuss salad, tossed with thin ribbons of red onion and a generous handful of fresh parsley. The dressing is where it really shines: tangy apple cider vinegar, good olive oil, a touch of maple syrup, and a spoonful of Dijon whisk into a smooth, well-balanced vinaigrette that coats every bite. A long rest in the fridge gives the beans time to soak up all that flavor, so it actually tastes better the next day than it does fresh off the counter. Built entirely on vegetables, legumes, herbs, and olive oil, this is exactly the kind of simple, plant-forward dish that fits a Mediterranean way of eating without any extra effort. It's an easy make-ahead side for a weeknight dinner or a potluck, and it holds up well in the fridge for days. Light, filling, and full of texture, this is a salad you'll want to keep in regular rotation.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and just tender with a slight snap. Drain through a colander and immediately rinse under cold running water until the beans are cool to the touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
