This bean salad is the perfect picnic dish! It's easy to make and can be served cold or at room temperature. You can use a mix of different beans in this salad—black beans, kidney beans, and lima beans are all great options.
For a little crunch, you can add chopped celery or red onion. This salad is best if you refrigerate it at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. It's also a great option for a salad bar—everyone can customize their bean salad!
