Chickpea and Kidney Bean Salad
Kidney beans are some of the healthiest beans around, containing loads of minerals like niacin, zinc, omega-3 acids, and many more. The onion, olive oil, and parsley also contain important nutrients. This makes a great side or lunch when served with a veggie-filled sandwich on whole-grain bread. The kidney beans are packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients.

Serves 3-4

1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp pickle relish
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or sherry vinegar
¼ to ½ a yellow or white onion, finely diced
1 large handful parsley, roughly chopped

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Let sit for about an hour to let the flavors mingle, then serve as a side or pack in a plastic container for lunch.
