Instructions

1. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly.
2. Dice the orange pepper and chop the cherry tomatoes, scallions, and fresh parsley.
3. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the dressing.
4. Combine the black beans, diced pepper, tomatoes, scallions, parsley, and half of the feta in a large mixing bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
6. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl.
7. Top with sliced avocado, the remaining feta, and a drizzle of sriracha.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the beans to absorb the dressing. You can add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the dressing for an extra kick.
