Notes
- I highly recommend Del Monte's Summer Crisp corn for this recipe. It's very crisp and gives a nice texture contrast to the beans.
- It's important to let the salad sit for at least 2 hours so that all the flavors have a chance to blend together.
- Drain the corn and beans very well to prevent the finished salad from being watery.
- Storing: This recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It also travels well and can be easily transported to events. Toss well before serving. Not suitable for freezing.
