Corn And Black Bean Summer Salad
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 each ears of corn, shucked
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 cups cooked black beans
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/3 cup minced red onion
2 cups red cabbage, shredded (or use broccoli slaw for a nice change)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 dash sea salt
1 dash black pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
If you prefer cooked corn kernels then you can first steam the ears of corn for 5 minutes, allow to cool and then cut the kernels off of the cob. Some enjoy the flavor of the raw corn kernels. Combine the corn kernels through cabbage and toss to mix.
In a separate bowl or glass measuring cup whisk together lime juice through fresh cilantro. Pour dressing over black bean and corn mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
