Chef's Tips

  • Make Ahead: This salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Bean Variations: Feel free to use any combination of beans you like, such as cannellini beans or pinto beans.
  • Extra Crunch: Add diced celery or cucumber for additional texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Protein Boost: Add diced grilled chicken or feta cheese for extra protein.
