Dijon Bean Salad

This dijon bean salad is super quick to put together and is packed with protein so will fill you up as a standalone dish, or as a side salad. The dijon mustard gives it a subtle but distinctive kick. You may want to play with the quantity until you find just the right balance, but this is what works for me.
