In week two of my summer salad series I’m sharing this delicious recipe that my mom and I enjoyed so much that we made it and licked the bowl clean two nights in a row last week. It’s a great compliment to any summer bbq and keeps well for leftovers the next day (one thing that is crucial in a salad for me). I found it in a Martha Stewart mag but can’t find the recipe online.
Sauteed Corn and Black Bean Salad
Sautee kernels from 3 ears of corn in 2 T of butter until they start to brown slightly in spots. Remove from heat and toss with:
A can of drained black beans
1 sliced avocado
2 T chopped green onions
Juice of two limes and
A handful of roughly chopped cilantro
Serve chilled

I've made this lots, love that combo,mm. Today I had the most amazing salad: to my leafy greens, I added strawberries, goat cheese and walnuts, with basic vinaigrette. Try it!!
That I will try! I just sauteed fresh corn for the first time the other day (and mixed it in polenta) and thought that I must make it into a salad.
I love this series! And I will for sure be trying this salad.
Thanks for the idea. I have everything but the avocado which is not on my market list for today. Yum.Cheers.

Oh I need to try this. Sounds like something I'd consume way too fast. Thanks for sharing. Loving this little series.
Looks delicious! I am loving the idea of summer salads now that turning on my oven when its 100+ degrees outside is the last thing I want to do!
this is one of my favorites, but i add diced tomato and fresh garlic. YUMMM!
oh this looks so yummy! i bet it would work as a main course too
Yum
Sounds delicious!
Ha, too funny! I just made this last weekend. It was so yummy.
This is perfect!! I just learned how to cook dried beans so they actually taste decent and I've been looking for a summer bean recipe. Thank you.
yum! that sounds SO tasty! i love that it has huge chunks of avocados! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
I make this salad all the time! Though I usually treat it as dip and put a bunch of torilla chips along the sides. So good!
Libby, that sounds delicious as well!
Yes and yes!!!My mom makes something similar, but with garlic and tomatoes. We eat it all summer long with tortilla chips as an appetizer.
this is totally my kind of salad! we always have dry black beans, and now that corn is popping up in stands on street corners i want to make this! (if only i wasn't leaving the country tomorrow).
