--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  pound         Green beans -- cut in 1" piece
     1/2  cup           Celery -- sliced
     1/2  cup           Purple onions -- sliced
   1 1/2  cups          Kidney beans, cooked -- draine
   1 1/2  cups          Garbanzo beans, cooked -- drai
                        Dressing:
     1/2  cup           Cider vinegar
     1/2  cup           Apple juice -- unsweetened
   2      tablespoons   Mustard -- prepared
   1      tablespoon    Cornstarch
     1/4  teaspoon      Black pepper -- ground

Preparation Time: 8:25 Steam the green beans over boiling water for 6 minutes,
 until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Combine with the celery,
 onion, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans. Toss gently and set aside.
 Combine the dressing ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium
 heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Pour over the bean
 mixture and toss gently to coat. Cover and chill for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.

 HINT: Frozen green beans may be used instead of fresh. Use 1 10-ounce package,
 thawed under cold water.
