Summer Bean Salad

This is really quick and easy. I've made it with black beans as well. It doesn't have to sit in the fridge for hours. I just chop up a regular tomato because cherry tomatoes, are just WAY too expensive! And since my basil isn't ready to harvest yet I used dried basil.


Summer Bean Salad

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss beans, corn, onion, tomatoes, lime juice, and lemon zest. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix in basil just before serving.
