Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/2 small)
2 cans reduced-sodium chickpeas ((15-ounce cans), rinsed and drained)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1 bunch)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 orange bell pepper ( or yellow bell pepper, chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 large seedless cucumber (chopped (about 2 cups))
1/2 cup crumbled feta (about 4 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the onions in a bowl of cool water and let them soak while you prepare the other ingredients (this removes the harsher bite from the onions, while still giving great flavor).
  • Place the chickpeas, parsley, bell peppers, cucumber, and feta in a large serving bowl.
  • In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain the red onions and add them to the chickpea mixture, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine. If time allows, let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or enjoy immediately.

Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cans of black beans (15 ounces each) or 4 1/2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and well-drained
2 ears of corn, shucked, or 1 cup of canned corn (drained) or defrosted frozen corn
1 orange, yellow or red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped red onion (from 1 small onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1/2 medium bunch)
1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (keep the seeds for heat if you'd like, or remove them for mild flavor) or 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño
1/2 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 lime, preferably organic)
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime), to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
Optional garnishes: sliced avocado, crumbled feta, lime wedges

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust as necessary until the flavors really pop-I usually add another teaspoon or two of vinegar (you can use lime juice instead, for more mild flavor) and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Cover and chill to enhance the flavors-preferably for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve in individual bowls as is, or with any of the garnishes listed. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days or so; you might want to wake up the flavors with an extra squeeze of lime juice or tiny splash of vinegar.

BLACK BEAN AND RED PEPPER SALAD



Black Bean and Red Pepper Salad image

Categories     Salad     Bean     Herb     Vegetable     Low Fat     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large red bell peppers, chopped
1 15- to 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed, well drained
1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in large bowl; toss to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.) Serve chilled or let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use high-quality canned or dried black beans. Dried beans should be sorted and soaked overnight before cooking.
  • Cook the beans properly: Follow the instructions on the bean package or recipe for the best cooking method. Properly cooked beans should be tender but not mushy.
  • Drain and rinse the beans: Before using, drain and rinse the beans in a fine-mesh strainer. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the salad from becoming too mushy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Choose ripe red peppers, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful feta cheese.
  • Season the salad well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. A good vinaigrette dressing is also a great way to add flavor.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Gently toss the salad to combine the ingredients. Overmixing can make the beans mushy and the salad less appealing.
  • Serve the salad chilled: For the best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
