VERY, VERY good, We love black beans, and like salads like this one. My DH loves Feta cheese. So this salad really filled the bill. I let it marinate for 5 hours. Very good. Thanks for posting the recipe Stacy.

Thanks for such a great tasting salad. Our grocery always has fresh black beans in the reduced bin--this is a good recipe to take advantage of extremely cheap beans. Stacylu, how can you say this dish looks gross? I thought it looked beautiful and tasted wonderful! I'm not crazy about parsley, so added a little less. The feta is the perfect finishing touch. So much going for this salad--low carbs, high fiber to boot! Thanks for sharing.

I made this only about an hour before dinner so it didn't have time to marinate long, but it was still absolutely delicious. I substituted cilantro for parsley since that's what I had, and used canned tomatoes. Yum! We'll be making this salad again!

Delicious! Healthy! Great presentation! What more can you ask for? I used two cans of black beans and a yellow bell pepper in place of the green to add extra color. We served it in pita bread with the last of a garlic white bean spread I had to use up, and boy, was it yummy! We really enjoyed this one. This goes into the permanent file...thanks!

This was great! I substituted with 2 cans of white kidney beans and used a bit less feta and it turned out amazing, even better when it marinated for a few hours. DH really enjoyed this! We'll definitely be making this one again! Thank you for posting your recipe!
