1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups steamed, cooled and chopped green beans (about 6 ounces raw)

1 large tomato, seeded and diced

1/2 red onion, diced

In a large bowl, whisk together agave nectar, mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add black beans, kidney beans, green beans, tomato, Gouda and onion and toss.
