Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We do not recommend freezing.
Beans: You can use any variety of white beans you like; such as great northern beans, navy beans, cannellini beans or white kidney beans. While different in texture, Garbanzo beans are another tasty option.
Temperature: You can serve this bean salad recipe at room temperature or chilled. It tastes great either way, but we typically prefer it at room temperature as you can taste the flavors a little better.
