Notes
- Storage: Leftover kidney bean salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To meal prep: store the veggies separately from the beans and dressing and combine before serving.
- Tips:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and beans to remove as much salt and liquid as possible.
- Whisk dressing in the bottom of the bowl to avoid dirtying more dishes. Then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Cook lentils up to 7 days in advance. Lentils must be completely cooled before adding them to salad. Check out all the details on how to cook lentils properly.
- Avoid adding delicate ingredients early. If you're adding garnishes and topping like nuts, seeds, and fresh herbs - do so before serving to maintain texture and prevent wilting and sogginess.
