1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cucumber

Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cucumber.
Separate the egg white from the yolk and add the egg white to the salad, mixing gently.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
