Black Bean, Cucumber and Feta Salad

I'm still squeezing out as many fresh salads as I can because although I love cooler weather, the produce selection goes down dramatically. This salad makes the best of the last of the corn around KY.  The cucumbers have gone out of season, but this was still delicious!
