Summer Herb Salad with Black Beans and Corn


This salad is a wonderful way to showcase the herbs and veggies that are plentiful in the summer. With the exception of the black beans and the corn, everything in this salad came from my garden (the corn came from a local farm). You can improvise with your favorite ingredients and play with the flavors easily.



Summer Herb Salad with Black Beans and Corn
1 bunch fresh greens (I used a combination of swiss chard and beet greens)
1 small jalapeno pepper, minced
1-2 handfuls of fresh basil, chopped
1-2 handfuls of cilantro, chopped
1-2 handfuls of parsley, chopped
5 zucchini blossoms, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
corn sliced from 2 ears
1 cup canned organic black beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tb. olive oil
1 Tb. fresh lemon or lime juice
Himalayan or sea salt to taste

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and add seasonings as per your preference.

Preparation and serving suggestions:

This salad can be made spicier with additional minced jalapeno and chopped bell pepper and/or cucumber can be added. Any green can be chopped and used in this salad in lieu of the chard and beet greens.
