Notes
- Rinse the beans well when they come out of the can. This is to get the extra salt off them. Canned beans are great, but a little salty.
- Go easy on the dressing. You want it to be subtle, and not overpowering - so stick with the recipe.
- Make sure you mix it really well before serving, so that the dressing distributes well.
- Try to let the white bean salad sit for 30 minutes before serving, as it allows all the flavors to come together.
- Add some spice with diced jalapenoes.
