2 cups diced plum tomato (about 4) |
1/2 cup chopped english cucumber |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained |
3/4 cup fat-free balsamic vinaigrette |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain; rinse with cold water. Drain.
2. Combine pasta, tomato, and next 3 ingredients. Add vinaigrette and salt; toss well. Cover; chill at least 1 hour.
3. Spoon salad onto plates; sprinkle with feta cheese.
