The Mise en Place
5 of 9Your prep station before cooking begins
The Protein (0/1)
Seasoning (0/2)
Dressing (0/4)
My bowl tastes a bit too rich, not bright enough.
Ah, I see. For that clean, vibrant flavor we're after, a little more acidity is key. Try adding another tablespoon of lemon juice and a tiny pinch of salt. That brightness will cut…
My bowl seems a little watery.
That can happen if the beans hold onto a bit too much water.
Chef's Notes
Best fresh. If meal-prepping, keep dressing separate and toss before eating.

Greens lightly coated; beans seasoned without turning mushy
ADJUST
Taste and adjust with more lemon or salt if needed.
