Bean & Herb Salad

2 cups fresh green beans
2 cups fresh or dried fava beans
2 cups fresh or dried cannellini beans
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 cup fresh chopped parsley
A few springs of fresh tarragon

Dressing:

2 tablespoons walnut oil
1/4 cup olive oil
A few splashes of balsamic vinegar
Sea salt & pepper
...and some crushed red pepper if you're like me and prefer everything blazing hot.
