Three Bean Salad

Alright, first night at our house without a stove was a great success! Since, we've literally been experiencing a heat wave we decided we wanted something light, cool and refreshing. So we took out the recipe for my Nan's old bean salad. This salad has been in the family forever, I remember making it with my mom as a kid. Perfectly healthy from the start and always delicious :)
Recipe
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can green beans
1 small jar pimentos
2/3 cup red onion, diced
1/4 C white vinegar
1/4 C oil, we used flax seed oil
salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well together. Refrigerate overnight if possible to let all the flavors marinade. We only did it for about 3 hours and it was still great. This recipe serves two starving vegans just right :) As a side dish though it would serve 4 at least.
Take care of yourself in this heat, lots of raw veggie and plenty of water should do it!
