"This black bean salad makes for a great side to be accompanied with meat or fish and it is also wonderful on its own served with warm tortilla or two. The flavors meld as the flavors sit, making it convenient to make it a day ahead."

Cooking for one and enjoying both beans and salsas this was a perfect combination for me. Being extra busy I used canned beans, no feta which saw me sub with shredded Ted Mex. Worked for me! Great on Rollups and a side to perk up a main. See this added to my appetizer offerings.

I cut the recipe in half and used canned black beans...the hubby enjoyed it with tortilla chips...he wasn't overly impressed with the feta cheese...so he ate all around the cheese...made for "Pick Me" tag game...
