Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender black beans.
Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
Let the salad cool before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop. You can also make the salad ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Serve the salad with a variety of toppings: This will allow your guests to customize their salads to their liking. Some popular toppings include chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This rice black bean feta salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. With its combination of fresh vegetables, hearty beans, and tangy feta cheese, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
