In reply to Jaine. Hi Jaine, we estimate the time for this recipe using canned beans. It would definitely take longer to cook them from scratch! I'm glad you enjoyed the final product though.

Pros: The flavor and appearance of this salad are lovely, and it’s very easy to make. Super healthy, too. Cons: This took me — a very seasoned cook — hours to make. I sorted then soaked the beans overnight and then cooked them for two hours. Washing and chopping the peppers, the cilantro, the clove garlic, the onion, the corn took well over an hour. I don’t like to use a food processor to dice veggies and did it all by hand. If you make this, I suggest buying precut veggies if you’re time constrained. Almost every online recipe I’ve tried has grossly underestimated prep time. This one does, too.

This salad is the BEST! It’s so light and refreshing. I used one can of corn, drained, one can of black beans, drained and rinsed, and one can of diced tomatoes with green chilies. Super quick and easy to make though I’m sure freshly grilled corn would make this an 11/10 for sure.

This salad is delicious! I boiled the ears of corn for about 4 minutes before cutting off the kernels. I only had one lime so I used about 1/8 cup lime juice and 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I will definitely be making this again!

What about grilling the corn? I think it would add to the flavor.

What are your thoughts on using lemon juice rather than lime? I don’t care for lime juice but the rest of the recipe sounds great.

Yes raw. Just cut off the cob. Fresh, sweet and crunchy.
