This Mixed Bean Salad comes together in 10 minutes with whatever beans you have, and is ideal for meal prep, barbecues, and picnics. It stays fresh without getting soggy, so you can make it ahead and enjoy it anytime! As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I made sure it’s packed with nutrients—bell pepper and cabbage to boost immunity, and green onion to enhance iron and zinc absorption—all tossed in a naturally sweetened miso-orange dressing that adds a bright, umami kick.
