2 or 3 cans of beans, your choice.I use great northern, kidney & garbanzo or black beans.
Rinse very well in colander...very important to rinse & drain the beans.
Fine dice any vegetable that doesn't get mushy.I like red,green & yellow peppers,celery & onions as a base.
Mix with beans & add dressing.
2 Tbl olive oil
!/4 C flavored rice vinegar
S&P
Fresh garlic or garlic powder. & a shake or 2 of Italian seasoning.Stir well,adding a bit more vinegar if needed.You don't want it soggy with dressing.
Refrigerate in covered container.Stir a few times & serve the next day.

We like it as is,usually adding a bit of freshly grated parmesan.Also good added to a lettuce salad, or to pasta.Keeps for a long long time.
