Tangy Bean Salad

One thing is guaranteed. Put a bean salad in front of me, and it’s going to disappear. For me, it doesn’t get any better or easier. The perfect contrast in textures and flavors. A little sweet. A little tang. There are hundreds of variations on bean salad, and I am pretty sure I’ve made and enjoyed them all. This tangy bean salad is no exception. Made in no time, but better after it gets happy in the fridge for a few hours first.

Tangy Bean Salad

Open To Changes

Like with any good ole bean salad you can change this tangy bean salad up to suit your tastes. I think a little slices fresh jalapeno is great if you like a little kick. Roasted red bell pepper instead of green bell pepper is also a nice change. You can get roasted peppers in a jar usually by the pickles in the grocery store. They’re nicely sweet and really tasty.
