Three-Bean Salad with Gouda
Serves 6
Time 40 min
This hearty sweet-and-savory bean salad gets a uniquely delicious layer of flavor from rich and tangy Gouda cheese. Beans tend to absorb flavors as they sit, so always taste the salad just before you serve it and add more salt, pepper or vinegar a little at a time if the flavor needs perking up.
