Rice, Black Bean and Feta Salad


This was really good when we had it as a side dish with Colin's famous grilled salmon, and it was even better as leftovers the next day.

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 cup cooked rice (I used orzo because, as I've previously mentioned, I have a slight obsession with orzo!)
1 (3.5 oz) package crumbled feta (I used reduced fat)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup Italian dressing (I don't love Italian dressing, so I subbed in balsamic vinaigrette and it worked perfectly!)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley (I went with parsley)

Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate.
