  • Use a variety of beans. This will add texture and flavor to your salad. Try using a combination of white beans, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Herbs like basil, parsley, and oregano will brighten up the flavor of your salad. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is the traditional dressing for Italian salads. Choose a flavorful olive oil that will complement the other ingredients in your salad.
  • Season your salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
