Notes
- Can I use dried beans? Yes! To substitute dried beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender before using. One cup of dried beans yields approximately 2 to 3 cups of cooked beans (which equals about one 15-oz can).
- How do I keep the salad from getting watery? Thoroughly drain and rinse the beans and pat the veggies dry before tossing. If making ahead, it's best to store the dressing separately.
- Storage: This make-ahead bean salad is perfect for meal prep! You can mix the salad and vinaigrette up to 4 days in advance.
