This sounds like a healthier version of a three bean salad my SIL makes. I love hers just not the calories. I will be trying this one for sure. Thanks,

As an alternative skip the lemon and garlic and switch from normal olive oil to truffle oil!

I make something similar, though the vegetables differ based on what I have in the fridge. No crunchy vegetable is safe - radishes, carrots, peppers, etc.

And I vary the beans as well, sometimes using more than one. And I usually spice mine up a little more with some hot sauce and fresh herbs in the dressing. Or perhaps add some hot pickled vegetables (I do a lot of pickling).
