This is absolutely delicious! The pine nuts are the star of the dish. Don’t leave them out.

Very good. I used champagne vinegar and added 2 tbsp. Chopped flat leaf parsley. I think it will taste even better cold tomorrow.

PRUDENCE

dO NOT EVER USE AQUAFABA. iT IS MEANT TO BE DRAINED OFF. IT ABSORBS TOXINS FROM THE CAN - EVEN BHA PROOF CANS. iT IS A BRINE.. IT IS FUL OF SODIUM FROM THE BEAN MIXTURE. INSTEAD, FIND A TOFU MAYONNAISE DRESSING TO USE WITH THIS RECIPE

I make my own and save after I make my beans. Nothing wrong with it.
