Mixed Bean & Feta Salad - Perfect Pantry Challenge Side Dish!

I threw together an amazing mixed bean salad the other day, and I was damn proud!  I used up a couple cans of beans I had in the pantry, some feta in the fridge, and a bit of seasoning, and voila!  We have been eating it with every meal for the last three days, and honestly, I don't want it to end!

Check out the recipe below!

Bean & Feta Salad

Dressing:

1/4 c apple cider vinegar

2 T lime juice

1/2 red onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 T sugar

Salad:

1 can mixed beans

1 can black beans

1 can chickpeas

1 sweet pepper, diced

Chopped cilantro (I used the tubed variety since it keeps well for longer periods in the fridge)

3/4 c crumbled feta cheese

Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.  Mix the salad ingredients together (after draining and rinsing beans) in a large bowl.  Add dressing, combine well, and eat!

Just a note - any beans would work with this salad.  Use what you have, it'll be just as fabulous.
