I have my first attempt at a bean salad (the La Scala salad inspired version) sitting in the fridge now for a get together tomorrow. I hope I love it. I’m excited by the meal prep options!

When you say cooked pinto beans - are you having the beans straight out of the can or are you cooking first ?
