2. Cooking Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    i modified the recipe by adding iceberg instead of red cabbage for those who don\'t enjoy the slightly bitter taste of red cabbage.

  • Instant staple

    This became an instant staple in at my summer porch dinners. I confess I had to use canned corn the first time and I chose white shoe peg corn which I liked for its texture and its less sweet taste. I realize I\'m in the minority in liking corn that is not so sweet. Anyway, it\'s a great recipe.

    I took it to a dinner party and had a lot left over. Everyone there wanted to take some home. I had enough left over for the next couple of days.

  • YUM!

    This 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....
