Bean and Corn Salad

  • Claire requested this salad after Karin had made it, and we had it with garlic toast made on homemade French bread, watermelon and peaches. Awesome summer meal.

  • Place in bowl:
    1 cup cherry/grape tomatoes, halved
    Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let stand 10 min.

    Toss with 1 TB olive oil and roast/grill:
    3 ears shucked corn or same amount frozen corn
    1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
    1 jalapeño pepper
    Then after they've cooled, cut corn off cob and finely chop jalapeño (discard stem).

    Combine everything together with the following:
    1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1/3 cup fresh lime juice (I cheated and used lemon juice I always have)
    1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
    2 diced peeled avocados

    Salt to taste (up to 1/2 tsp).
