International recipe: cheesy three bean salad

This hearty salad from the WW U.K. website is ready in just 20 minutes and is chock-full of tasty, colorful ingredients. Use whatever beans that you like in this recipe—it’s easily changeable to suit your tastes or what you have in your pantry. Additionally, you can substitute crumbled feta or goat cheese in place of the Mexican-blend cheese. Cooking the beans in boiling water and then running them under cold water or putting them in ice water is known as blanching. The cold water stops the cooking process, leaving bright, tender, crisp vegetables. If you’re cooking a lot of vegetables, add them to the boiling water in small batches so that the water continues to boil.
