How to make Five-Bean Salad with Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

Whisk garlic, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, mustard, paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add kidney, pinto, and white beans and toss to combine. Let rest until ready to use.

Cook green and yellow wax beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, then shock in a large bowl of ice water and drain.

Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in another large bowl. Add green and yellow wax beans, celery ribbons, parsley, almonds, and celery leaves, if using, and toss to combine.

Transfer canned bean mixture to a platter or serving bowl, then top with fresh bean mixture.

The canned bean salad can be dressed and chilled for up to 1 day.
