No, not for this recipe. Since canned beans are already cooked, simply rinse them well and let them drain completely before adding them to the salad. The better you drain them, the less watery the salad will be.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "How should I store leftovers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Store the bean salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container, or in multiple containers if you plan to take it to work. It should remain fresh for about 4 days. Note: It’s best to take the salad out of the fridge at least 15 minutes before serving, especially if you notice that any of the dressing has solidified.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long can the salad be left out of the fridge?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
You have about a 2-hour window to return this salad, as well as any other perishable foods, to the fridge or cooler if the temperature is below 90°F. If the temperature exceeds 90°F, you have only about 1 hour. This helps prevent food poisoning. For added safety, it’s best to store perishables back in the fridge immediately after serving, so you don’t have to worry about time.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What should I serve with Five-Bean Salad?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
