• To Make Ahead.
• This salad can be prepared, covered, and refrigerated a day in advance. Before serving, bring to room temperature and freshen with a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• My Note: For the two of us, I used just 2 ears, microwaved in a covered dish for 2 minutes, about a pint of grape tomatoes from the Farmers Market, one can of black beans, half small onion and 1 tab minced cilantro (you can omit cilantro if you don't like it, still taste great). For the dressing I just cut everything in half except I did use one garlic clove and 1 small jalapeno minced very fine. Plus I used half tablespoon of white wine vinegar and red wine vinegar each, you can use a bit more according to your taste. Fresh corn is the key here, plus I used Bush's Low Sodium Black Beans. This dish should not be served ice cold let it come to room temperature.
