For a vibrant twist, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the dressing. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, can elevate the salad's flavor profile. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to your liking. Canning your own beans will enhance the flavor.
