For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Dijon mustard to the dressing. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans to suit your taste. Garbanzo beans, white beans, black-eyed peas, or kidney beans work wonderfully. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch more sugar to the dressing according to your liking. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent any leakage during the marinating process.
