It's a low fat, high fiber and high protein salad, which you can serve at any summer gathering. It's delicious at room temperature, but you can serve it chilled, too. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Steam or cook the green beans in a pot of boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and plunge beans into cold water to stop cooking and retain color.
Combine cooked green beans with cannellini beans, kidney beans and shallots in a large bowl. Whisk vinegar, oil and mustard and drizzle over bean mixture. Toss gently. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
