Enhance the Marinade:
- Add a teaspoon of Dijon or whole grain mustard for depth of flavor.
- Use a blend of olive oil and red wine vinegar for a more complex taste.
- Infuse the marinade with herbs such as oregano, thyme, or basil.
- Add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a subtle sweetness.
- Roast the bell peppers and onions before adding them to the salad for a smoky flavor.
Boost the Beaniness:
- Use a variety of beans, such as chickpeas or kidney beans, for a more textured salad.
- Rinse and drain the beans thoroughly before marinating to reduce starchiness.
- Mash some of the beans to create a creamy texture.
Add More Veggies:
- Include chopped celery or carrots for crunch and texture.
- Grate a zucchini or summer squash for a touch of freshness.
- Add diced avocado just before serving for a creamy and rich element.
Seasoning Enhancements:
- Sprinkle in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
- Add a dash of smoked paprika or cumin for a warm and earthy flavor.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Presentation Tweaks:
- Layer the salad in clear mason jars for a more visually appealing presentation.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top for a creamy touch.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for a pop of color and freshness.
