Open and drain the can of organic garbanzo beans. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium.
Mix Sugar and Onion Powder:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the organic cane sugar and Spanish onion powder. Mix well to create a sweet and savory base.
Add Kidney and Green Beans:
Add the dark red kidney beans (drained and rinsed) and French-style green beans (drained) to the bowl.
Season with Pink Salt and Garlic Powder:
Sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt and roasted garlic powder over the beans. These seasonings will enhance the flavor profile of the salad.
Add Cold-Pressed Vegetable Oil:
Pour the cold-pressed vegetable oil over the beans. This will add a light and healthy dressing to the salad.
Season with Black Pepper:
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the mixture to add a hint of warmth and spice.
Incorporate Balsamic Vinegar:
Pour the aged balsamic vinegar into the bowl. The vinegar will provide acidity and depth of flavor to the salad.
