Potluck Salads
I never follow a recipe in its entirity. I just can't do it. I take an idea then modify it. Variations on a theme are us.
So I read about salads, and broccoli salads, and bean salads. And I modified. And here's what I brought to potluck:
Chipoltle Broccoli Black Bean Salad
3 cans black beans, drained
A whole lot of broccoli florets, lightly steamed
half a can of stewed diced tomatoes
chipoltle Tabasco
chipoltle pepper flakes
garlic powder
Stir and serve cold.
Chickpea Cauliflower salad:
Chickpeas
The other half can of stewed diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, with juice
oregano, basil (dried)
Lots of cauliflower, lightly steamed
Mix and serve cold.

I do the exact same.
I would add cilantro and fresh lime to your black bean salad!!
Capers and cauliflower..nice combo! Yummmmm
Sounds like a good potluck..from your perspective.
