Looking for a vibrant and refreshing side dish that's both healthy and delicious? This Green Beans, Corn, and Pea Salad is a true crowd-pleaser! Ready in just 10 minutes (plus some chill time!), it's perfect for those busy weeknights or when you need a quick and easy contribution to a potluck.

This colorful salad is naturally vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it a worry-free option for guests with dietary restrictions. The sweetness of the corn, the slight bite of the green beans, and the tenderness of the peas create a delightful textural experience. The addition of chopped red bell pepper adds a pop of color and a fresh, crisp flavor that complements the other vegetables beautifully.

What I love most about this recipe is its simplicity. It's all about fresh, vibrant flavors enhanced by a tangy vinaigrette. The white wine vinegar adds a touch of sophistication, while the sugar balances the acidity, resulting in a perfectly balanced dressing. This salad is fantastic as a side dish alongside grilled meats, fish, or tofu. It also works wonderfully as an antipasti, starter, or even a light and satisfying snack. The leftovers (if there are any!) are just as delicious the next day. Get ready to enjoy a delightful explosion of colors and flavors with this easy-to-make salad!
