What Exactly Is Dense Bean Salad Anyway?
BY Sara Klimek
The newest social media food trend popularized by TikTokers like Violet Witchel is a dense bean salad comprised of beans, veggies, herbs, cheese, meat, and dressing.
Once assembled, the salad is refrigerated for days to help the dressing intensify and meld with the other components. The salad can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish.
The protein- and fiber-rich salad is trending, thanks to its ease of customization with different types of beans, veggies, and more. It can also be made vegetarian or vegan.
