Crunchy Bean Salad

Salads are my favorite dish to make during the summer, and this Crunchy Bean Salad is fresh, colorful, and full of texture. I make it with canned beans, crisp veggies, and a creamy yogurt dressing. It’s ready in just 20 minutes, and you can easily toss in your favorite beans, protein or extra veggies to make it your own.
