Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly. Chop the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion and bell pepper, and chop all fresh herbs. Crumble the feta cheese if using a block.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine black beans, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and fresh herbs. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over and gently toss to coat.
  4. Fold in the crumbled feta cheese. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese. The salad's flavor improves after resting, making it perfect for make-ahead meals.
