Summer In A Bowl
Ingredients
For Summer:
- 2 Ears of Local, Happy Corn, shucked.
- 2 to 3 C tomatoes, chopped.
- 1/2 Red Onion, finely diced.
- 2 Avocados, seeded, skinned & chopped.
- 1 540ml Can Black Beans, drained and well rinsed (sub dried beans, soaked & rinsed).
- 1 Red Chili, seeded and finely chopped.
- 1 Clove Garlic, finely chopped.
- 1/4 C Fresh Organic Cilantro, finely chopped.
- 1/4 C Fresh Basil, roughly torn.
- Kosher Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper.
Ingredients for Dressing:
- 1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- 4 Tbsp Good Quality Balsamic or Red Wine Vinegar.
- Juice of 1 Lime.
- 1 Tsp Ground Cumin.
- Kosher Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper.
Instructions
- Pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat. While that heats, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook 2 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss in a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place on hot grill to lightly char the corn - make sure it doesn't burn. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- While that cools, toss the rest of the Summer ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a mason jar - just lid & shake. Or, if you don't have a jar, a fork or whisk and bowl will do the same thing.
- Now, hold the corn skinny end up on the cutting board, and slice straight down the length of the ear with a steak knife to remove the kernels from the cob. Add to your Summer bowl, dress with the dressing, and toss well to combine.
- Eat.
