Marinated Bean Salad with Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette Recipe

For your next summer picnic, try this salad with corn-on-the-cob, new potatoes, snap peas, a sliced tomato salad, watermelon, and fresh lemonade. Or serve it as a side salad when the weather gets cool. A small half-cup serving provides good amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. A larger serving - a cup or a cup and a half - provide enough protein for a main dish.
