This is a wholesome salad that's easy to throw together.
Ingredients
- 1.5 to 2 pounds green beans
- 2 to 3 ears of corn
- 1 14.5 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed well
- 1 14.5 oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed well
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (we used red wine vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Place the green beans and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe container, and heat the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until green beans are cooked.
- If the corn is very fresh, you do not need to cook it. Otherwise, remove the husk and silk, rince the cobs, and microwave covered in paper towels for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs.
- Mix the green beans, corn, canned beans, and tomatoes in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.
- Add the dressing to the bean mix, and stir.

This was a very tasty side salad salad. You can easily substitute other types of beans, depending on what you have on hand.
He said
This quick side dish is a great addition to any summery meal. If you want a little more zing, you can try adding a tablespoon or two of your favorite mustard to the dressing.
