A delightful and refreshing Mediterranean-inspired black bean salad with feta cheese, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Drain and rinse the black beans, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Rinsing canned beans removes excess sodium and improves their flavor.
Dice the tomatoes, green pepper, and scallions, and chop the parsley. Add them to the bowl with the beans.
Use a sharp knife for cleaner cuts and to avoid bruising the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar to create the dressing.
Whisking the dressing helps emulsify the oil and vinegar for a smoother texture.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
Toss gently to avoid mashing the beans and vegetables.
Cover the salad and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Marinating allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Before serving, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
Add the feta just before serving to keep its texture intact.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy!
Serve with a slice of crusty bread or as a side to grilled meat for a complete meal.
