Can I use fresh green beans?

I prefer canned beans for this salad. But you can use fresh you will just have to blanch them first to soften them up. Just lightly boil them in water until desired tenderness. Then add them to ice water to stop the cooking process.

Can I use other beans in this recipe?

You can really use just about any beans, so feel free to swap out for cannellini beans, lima beans, pinto beans, or even black beans.

Do you need to rinse canned beans?

Yes, kidney beans and garbanzo beans are packed in a thick liquid that I always advise to rise off. Just place in a colander and rinse with cold water.

How to store this salad

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Hmmm yeah the recipe card calculates it all. Sugar and olive oil have the most calories in the ingredients. But I'm glad you like it 🙂

Not sure how you came up with your calories per serving, I got 176 calories when I entered the recipe into Lose It? Delicious recipe, though. Taking it to my church potluck.
