Bring 2 cups water to a boil, add green beans and boil for 3 minutes. You’ll need to keep the water so pull the green beans from the water with slated spatula. Combine green beans and other beans, drained and rinsed to a bowl. Next, using the same boiling water, add the dandelion/collard greens. Boil 30 seconds, remove, and drain. Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté the blanched dandelion greens for 1 to 2 minutes. Place in the mixing bowl with the beans. Toss to mix.

Prepare the marinade next. Place the minced parsley, chopped red onion, and water into a food processor. Puree’, and pour over the beans. Mix together thoroughly. Place in the refrigerator, and allow to marinate 8 hours or overnight. Mix just before placing in a serving bowl.
