3 important points

1. For salads, you can use both canned and boiled beans. The main thing is to cook the latter correctly.
2. Canned beans must first be thrown into a colander to drain the liquid and rinsed.
3. Mayonnaise for salads is easy to make yourself or replace with sour cream, natural yogurt or other sauces.
