- ½ small red onion finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar

- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Refrigerate in an airtight container overnight or up to 3 days before serving (stir daily for best results).
The beans will keep (refrigerated) up to 7 days (remember to stir daily, if possible).
Enjoy!
- If Cut Green & Wax Beans (in one can) aren’t available, substitute 1 can Cut Green Beans and 1 can Cut Wax Beans.
- Be sure to rinse the beans well as they can be quite salty straight out of the can.
- Let the salad sit for at least 8 hours before serving to let the flavors develop.
- Don't forget to garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, it adds a wonderful freshness to the dish.
