Apricot Ginger 3 Bean Salad

I'm putting this under healthy and kids since Ellie really liked it. Enjoy!

1 lb. string beans, trimmed an dcut into 1 inch pieces
1 (15 oz.) can navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp. canola oil
3 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
1/4 c Apricot preserve
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. grated ginger
2 scallions, sliced
Salt to taste

Bring a pot of water to a boil and then add the string beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then drain immediately and run under cold water or put in ice water bath. Allow to cool completely.

In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vinegar, apricot preserve, sugar and ginger. Add the black beans, navy beans, and scallions to the string beans, drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Season with salt to taste.
