I also have very high cholesterol and beans are one of the best things for lowering cholesterol. So I looked for healthy bean recipes I would tolerate. The flavor of this recipe is 5 Stars, delicious. I still don’t like the bean texture, but with such a good flavor, I can eat this for the heart benefit.

Hi Kathy, I actually don’t like dijon mustard myself, but I don’t taste it in this recipe because there are so many other flavours. In this recipe, dijon mustard is used as an emulsifier in the dressing. You could try mayonnaise instead as it is also an emulsifier.

@Deborah @ Confessions of mother runner,
What can you sub, or do, if you don’t like mustard?

I love beans and I am always looking for different ways to use them. I would love to toss this mixture onto a bed of lettuce.

Thank you so much for your kind words Patrick! I have just started on my food blogging journey and I feel like out of everything photography has been the hardest part.
