For dinner, senior commerce writer Emily Farris really only wants one thing: salad. Recently free from an 11-year marriage and the heavy meals it was filled with, Farris is rebuilding her life, starting with this cruciferous bowl of crunchy goodness, greens, and beans. This crunchy salad is built around a base of marinated canned beans that get better the longer they sit in the dressing. To assemble the salad, simply spoon the dressed beans over lettuce leaves just before serving.
