This salad is more a main dish than a salad. Beans contain a lot of complex carbs and saturate fast and enduringly. Additionally, they contain a lot of potassium, which supports the transmission of neural stimuli to the muscles. During a work-out, potassium is lost through sweating. Beans help to restore the potassium reservoir.
