Tips:

  • When choosing beans, opt for high-quality, organic options whenever possible. Fresh beans are best, but canned beans can also be used if necessary.
  • Be sure to rinse and drain the beans thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and salt.
  • For a more flavorful salad, marinate the beans in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the beans to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • To add a bit of extra crunch to the salad, consider adding some chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • If you are using canned beans, be sure to rinse them thoroughly and drain them well before using them. This will help to remove any excess salt and starch.
