Healthy 3 Bean Salad

Did anyone else grow up absolutely loving this classic side dish? This is a healthier take on 3 bean salad (and tastier in my opinion) featuring fiber rich beans, crunchy veggies, fresh herbs and a sweet + tangy vinaigrette made with simple ingredients. This makes for a great bbq side dish or snack!
