1 Rinse and drain the kidney beans and cannellini beans. Place the kidney beans, cannellini beans, and thawed green beans in a bowl.
2 Slice the red onion, then soak the onion in a bowl of ice water for about five minutes before draining and finely dicing. Chop the parsley. Add the onion and parsley to the bowl with the beans.
3 In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Dijon.
4 Pour the dressing over the beans, onion, and parsley, then stir to combine.
5 Transfer the bean salad to the refrigerator and let the beans marinate in the dressing for about 30 minutes before serving. Give the salad a good stir just before serving to redistribute the dressing.
