There are many variations on this theme. One redditor suggests a corn and black bean salad, which comes together quickly and cheaply, and can be kept in the fridge and doled out as needed. Our own food and beverage editor Claire Lower suggests marinating a can of beans for a no-cook meal with plenty of flavor. Another redditor gives more options: “There’s a ton you can try for variety but they usually have a vinegar/sugar/oil dressing plus onions, beans, and some veggies. There’s a NYT one with broccoli and pepperocini, there’s 3 bean salad, etc. There’s also tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. They can sit for like 5 days in the fridge and still taste good. Open fridge, shove food in mouth, done.”
