Salad Ingredients
- 400g can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tomato, roughly chopped
- ¼ red onion, roughly chopped
- ½ avocado, chopped
- 50g feta cheese, crumbled into chunks
Chimichurri Dressing
- Large handful coriander
- Large handful parsley
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ garlic clove, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Prepare the chimichurri dressing: Whizz together the coriander, parsley, sherry vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, chilli powder, and ground cumin in a blender or a small food processor bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set the dressing aside.
- Toss the salad ingredients: In a large bowl or plastic container, combine the drained black beans, roughly chopped tomato, red onion, chopped avocado, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the prepared chimichurri dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients, or keep the dressing separate in a small jar to stir through the salad just before serving to keep the avocado fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor in the chimichurri dressing.
- Keep the dressing separate if preparing ahead to prevent the avocado from browning.
- This salad is great as a light lunch or a side dish to grilled meats.
- For a vegan option, omit the feta or substitute with a plant-based cheese.
- Adjust the chili powder amount to taste for more or less heat.
