Notes
Drain the beans: You need to drain and rinse the beans before using them in the salad. This removes aquafaba, the starchy, salty liquid that's added to the can as a preservative.
Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper depends on your palate, so taste the salad once everything has been combined to gauge whether or not to add more.
Don't forget some add-ins: If you want to add some crunchy thinly sliced vegetables, extra cheese or even some nuts, seeds or avocado, go ahead and customize!
