For a more intense garlic flavor, you can lightly sauté the minced garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding it to the salad. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, such as cannellini beans or black beans, to create your own unique variation. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can be added for an extra layer of flavor and freshness. Stir them in just before serving. Taste the salad after marinating and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, vinegar, or olive oil to achieve your desired balance of flavors.
