Make It Monday: Three Bean Salad Recipe

You are going to love this recipe for Three Bean Salad! It combines all your favorites, plus some new things and uses balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good quality balsamic vinegar is. You could probably forego the honey because a REALLY good balsamic vinegar will have both a sweet and tang taste.
