Ingredients

6 servings

2 cups corn kernels (from 4 to 5 ears, or frozen corn kernels*)
1 14 -ounce can reduced sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint (basil, parsley, or cilantro (or a mix!)**)

Instructions

Place your corn kernels in a large mixing bowl. If using fresh kernels, include any of the milk that comes off the cob. If using frozen corn, you don't even need to thaw it all the way first.
To the bowl, add the black beans, tomatoes, mint, olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and two-thirds of the feta.
Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the salt and pepper as desired. Sprinkle the final one-third feta over the top.
If time allows, place in the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
