3-bean salad is one of those quintessential and high fibre summer picnic foods. I used different beans here but if you prefer green beans or red kidney beans don’t hesitate to experiment. I substituted the Agave Nectar for the granulated sugar. The Agave is low carb (16g opposed to 60 in sugar) and lower calorie. Make a huge bowl and enjoy it all week as it will keep (and taste better) for up to 7 days in the fridge.
