Remarks

If you're making this salad just before eating, play up the warmth by adding the beans and croutons hot from the colander and frying pan.
If you're using dried beans rather than fresh, don't forget to soak them the night before in cold water.
As always with croutons, this may be a good opportunity to use up some leftover stale bread that you weren't sure what to do with.
