  • To make the bean salad: all of the bean salad ingredients to a very large bowl. Drizzle over the salad dressing, start by adding half of the dressing, and then adding more to taste if needed. Toss well to combine.
Notes

Oil-free: to make oil-free replace the vegan mayonnaise with vegan yogurt.
