Rinse and drain the black soybeans thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, bring the soybeans and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender, then drain and let cool.
While the soybeans are simmering, prepare the vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, and finely chop the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked and cooled black soybeans, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and chopped red onion.
Add in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley, mixing well to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
