Tips and Variations
Tips and Variations
  • Make cooked beans from scratch to save money. Follow the instructions for the quick hot soak or overnight soak method found on Preparing Dry Beans and Whole Dry Peas: http://z.umn.edu/preparingbeans.
  • Serve leftover salad in a wrap or pita bread. You may want to place the salad in a colander first, to drain any extra dressing.
  • Add or substitute your favorite vegetables in this salad. Try adding onions and bell peppers, or swapping out the broccoli for cauliflower.
