Corn is just starting to show up at our local farmer’s markets, so I decided to buy a few sweet ears this weekend to make a super-simple salad full Kenya’s favorite ingredients. I love preparing this delicious dish for several reasons: it’s a complete vegetarian protein because of the beans and corn, the mixture of colors and textures are appealing to a little one’s eyes and it’s easy on the wallet.

If you need a last minute pot luck dish this summer that’s easy to prepare and that adults as well as kids will love, give it a shot!

Corn & Black Bean Salad (Serves 4-6)

2 Ears of Corn, husked and cleaned
1 16 Oz. Can Black Beans, rinsed
1 Red Bell Pepper, small dice
2 Tbsp Cilantro
1 Tbsp Olive Oil

1/2 Tsp Salt

1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil and add the corn.
2. Cover and steam for 5 minutes, remove and let cool.
3. Cut the corn off the cob and place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients.
4. Stir to combine throughly.
5. Serve.
