Ingredients

  • 3 large ears corn, husked

  • 1/3 cup pine nuts

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • Two 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed

  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage

  • 1 large tomato, diced

  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced

Directions

  • Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add the 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 the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

  • Whisk the 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.
