2. Cooking Directions
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add corn, cover and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife.
- Meanwhile, place pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk lime juice, oil, cilantro, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the corn, pine nuts, beans, cabbage, tomato and onion; toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Here's a great make-ahead dinner--and leftovers are welcome for lunch the next day. If you make it ahead, don't add the salt and pepper until just before serving. That way, the salt won't render the vegetables soggy and the pepper won't lose its bite. Make It a Meal: Scoop up this salad with warm corn tortillas.
Notes:
Tip
Convenient preshredded cabbage can be purchased, in bags, in the produce section of most supermarkets.
Make Ahead Tip
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

toourtechs - August 11, 2007 12:15:31 PM PSTThis salad is addictive. I omitted the pine nuts and cabbage and used canned corn (had everything else on hand) and served on the side w/tacos. We loved it! Worth a try....
