Dreain in a colander, rincse under cold running water and drain again. In a large bowl conbine onion, white and kidney beans. Add red peppers, their juice and green beans. Add olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with black pepper and parsley; stir gently to mix. Cover; chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours. Remove 1/2 hour before serving. |
