Notes
- Dried beans. Use dried beans instead of canned beans. Soak and then cook them before they are ready to be tossed in the salad.
- Make ahead of time. This bean salad recipe actually gets better the longer it marinates. Go ahead and toss the salad together up to a day before serving.
- STORE. Keep leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
