    @Rachel - I'm so impressed you cook your own beans! No BPA in your beans 🙂 Yeah, black beans would be a great substitute. It's mostly about having a hearty bean that can standup to the dressing overnight and add protein to the mix.

    I'm using freshly cooked beans instead of canned, but I just totally botched my batch of kidney beans. Would black beans work just as well on this salad or is there a necessary flavor component to the kidney beans?

    I'm not big on salads, this wasn't really an exception. It took a lot of vinaigrette to appreciate it. I would rather serve this as a salad in complement to a warm dish instead.
