Introduction

With summer coming, not fast enough, this is the best "abundance of tomatoes from your garden" recipe ever! I use black beans in this recipe but you can use white, pinto or any bean you like. You can add more avocados, tabasco or whatever floats your boat. With summer coming, not fast enough, this is the best "abundance of tomatoes from your garden" recipe ever!

Ingredients

    Dressing:
    4 TBL red wine vinegar
    Tabasco to taste
    1 TBL olive oil
    2 cloves garlic-minced
    salt & pepper to taste

    Add:
    1 firm avocado-diced
    1 can (15oz) black beans-rinsed well
    2 ears fresh corn-cooked and cut off the ear
    1 cup sliced green onions
    2 cups cherry tomatoes-slice into quarters
    1 cup cilantro-chopped fine

Directions

My mother-in-law taught me a great way to cook corn on the cob. You will never boil corn again. This method makes cooking corn on the cob so good and clean up amazingly easy. Corn will be cooked to perfection every time.

Place the corn in a microwave, in the husk, and cook 3 minutes per ear. Remove them from microwave and wrap in aluminum foil. Let stand for 20 minutes. Unwrap corn from foil and remove husk and silk. Cut corn off ear and place in large bowl.

Place all dressing ingredients in small bowl and whisk until well blended. Add remaining ingredients to corn and pour dressing over bean and vegetable mixture. Serve with tortilla chips. You can also used this mixture to stuff into flour tortillas, taco topping or anything else. You will get addicted to this very quickly. It's delicious!

    I don't even use aluminum foil to cook corn-on-the-cob; letting it steam in its own husk works fine. This makes corn-on-the-cob a great office lunch.

    Looking forward to the height of tomato season to try this recipe --
