Try cooking dried beans, following package directions, to feature in this recipe.

May substitute another type of cooked bean, such as chickpeas, kidney beans, or black eyed peas.

This recipe is delicious for meal prep. For entrée sized salad meals or bowls, divide ingredients among 4 (3-cup size) containers, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days (reserving dressing to add later).

I love to serve this salad in my natural bamboo salad bowl, pictured above. Try this bamboo salad bowl for serving this recipe.
