Jump to Recipe

I’m loving all the new season corn on the cob around at the moment. I’m seeing such a gorgeous range of recipes appearing.

Simple ways to char your corn and amazing fresh corn salads.

Like this one–a chunky salad with fresh sweetcorn, black beans, some veggies, lots if herbs and a zingy but creamy harissa dressing. Simple and super healthy.

I’ve served it with creamy hummus and my favourite flatbreads, as I love the textural combination of beans and veg with the super creamy hummus.

Swaps/additions ;
This salad works well is any of the following veg; peppers, courgette, mushrooms, aubergine, beans.
And the bean mix is completely adaptable–try chickpeas, kidney beans, butter beans.
Any dips work well or nut based cheese.
Absolutely delicious with fresh homemade soda bread.
