1 can (15 oz) mixed beans (e.g., chickpeas, kidney beans, cannellini), rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.

        Add the fresh parsley and give it a final toss. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

          Cover the salad with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
