Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beans. Fresh, flavorful beans make all the difference in this salad. Look for beans that are plump and evenly colored, with no signs of wrinkling or bruising.
  • Cook the beans properly. Properly cooked beans are tender but still hold their shape. If you're using dried beans, soak them overnight before cooking. Canned beans are a convenient option, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really brings this salad to life. Use a dressing that is tangy, flavorful, and complements the beans. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing made with Greek yogurt are both good options.
  • Add some crunch. A little bit of crunch goes a long way in this salad. Add some chopped red onion, celery, or bell pepper for a nice contrast to the soft beans.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad gently to coat the beans evenly, but don't overdo it or the salad will become soggy.
