Rinsing the canned beans removes excess sodium and improves their flavor. Finely chopping the onion and bell peppers ensures a more even distribution of flavor and texture throughout the salad. Adjust the amount of sugar in the dressing to your preference. For a tangier salad, reduce the sugar slightly. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs. Use approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of each fresh herb. Marinating the salad overnight intensifies the flavors and allows the beans to fully absorb the dressing.
