MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA SALAD
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.

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.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic paste, lime juice, salt and chili powder together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream.
- For the salad: Cook the corn, bell pepper, and onions in the olive oil until beginning to brown over medium-high heat in a skillet. Toss in the black beans and cook until warm. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve.

BLACK BEAN AND RED PEPPER SALAD
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.

Black bean salad with feta and red peppers is a delicious, refreshing, and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also low in calories and fat. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
