Buffalo Chickpea Dense Bean Salad Jars

Dense bean salads work because beans absorb dressing without wilting.

This version uses Buffalo sauce for heat, yogurt for creaminess, and enough celery and carrots to keep the texture lively.

Chickpeas give bite while white beans soften the dressing.

A little olive oil keeps the salad from tasting sharp, and herbs make it feel more like lunch than a bowl of pantry cans.

Layer it in jars with the dressing on the bottom if you are packing ahead.

Shake before eating or spoon it into a wrap with romaine.
