Southwestern Corn & Black Bean Salad

http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/southwestern_corn_black_bean_salad.html

I'd back off on the salt, but this looks delicious.

Ingredients

  • 3 large ears of corn, husked
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage, (see Tip)
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
Preparation
  • 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.

Tips & Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Tip: Convenient preshredded cabbage can be purchased, in bags, in the produce section of most supermarkets.
