Multi-Bean Salad
    From Mollie Katzen (The Moosewood Cookbook)

4 cups dry beans, soaked (you can use canned, it would be 3 cans)
6 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. minced garlic
3 to 4 tbsp. lemon juice
6 to 8 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 ½ tsp. salt
lots of black pepper
¼ lb. fresh green beans
2 medium stalks celery, finely minced
1/3 cup very finely minced red onion
up to 1 cup finely minced parsley
1 small red or green bell pepper, minced
Optional: a small amount of cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced

Cook presoaked beans in plenty of gently simmering water, partially covered, until just done. Keep the agitation to a minimum during the cooking, so the beans don’t
explode. Begin checking the beans for doneness at the 45 minute mark, just in case they are getting done early. Combine the oil, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper
in a large bowl. Trim the tips of the green beans, and steam until tender (5 to 8 minutes or to your preference). Refresh under cold running water and drain well. Drain the
cooked beans and add them, still hot, to the bowlful of dressing. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Let marinate for at least 2 to 3 hours. Serve cold or at room
temperature.
