This salad is just okay. The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste and the beans are a little bland. I think it could be improved with some fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.

This salad is a bit too heavy on the dressing for my taste. I would recommend using less dressing or making a lighter version with olive oil and lemon juice.
