Instructions

In a large bowl, toss to combine the first 7 ingredients (through green onions). In a separate bowl, dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Pour dressing over the bean mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Stir in the cilantro. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The longer it sits the more flavors develop!)
