Tips:

• For a more flavorful salad, use home-cooked smoked kidney beans. If you don't have time to cook your own, you can use canned smoked kidney beans, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
• You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped carrots, cucumbers, or tomatoes.
• This salad is also a great way to use up leftover cooked vegetables.
• Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
