Note

For best texture, drain canned vegetables well to prevent a watery salad.

You can substitute fresh green beans and peas if preferred; blanch them first for 2-3 minutes, then chill in ice water.

Add a light vinaigrette or lemon juice for extra flavor if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This salad is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
