For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, can be added just before serving for a burst of freshness. If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can substitute honey or maple syrup for some or all of the sugar. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Rinsing the canned beans thoroughly helps to reduce the sodium content.
