THREE BEAN SALAD W/FRESH MINT

Despite being addicted to watching cooking shows, I don't want to put a lot of work into actually cooking if I can help it. That's why this recipe is a great one to try.  In addition to tasting really good, it's easy to pack up and take along to someone else's home, so you'll look as if you worked really hard.

1 Small Red Onion, thinly sliced, or chopped up, if you prefer
1 Pkg Frozen Green Beans that have been thawed
1 Can Drained Chickpeas
1 Can of Drained Kidney Beans
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Mint
2 Tablespoons Finely Grated Lemon Zest
1/4 Cup Sherry Vinegar
1/4 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon of Cayenne (Optional)

Place the onion into a bowl, then add all of the rest of the ingredients, stirring to taste.  If you need extra flavor, add more lemon zest, mint, salt or black pepper.  Serve right away, or refrigerate until later.  Yummy!
