- Use a variety of beans. This will make your salad more colorful and flavorful. Some good choices include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and white beans.
- Cook the beans properly. Beans should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. If you are using canned beans, be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Add vegetables and herbs for flavor and crunch. Some good choices include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, celery, carrots, corn, cilantro, and parsley.
- Use a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper is a good choice. You can also use a store-bought salad dressing, but be sure to choose one that is not too heavy.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
