Summer Vegetable Salad
Recipe from AllRecipes
California farmers use efficient irrigation practices that help stretch water supplies, especially during a drought. World-class conservation means you can be proud of local farm products when you “Keep the State on Your Plate!”
Ingredients:
5 ears corn, husked
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 avocados, diced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ large red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
¼ cup olive oil
2 limes, zested and juiced
Directions:
Place corn into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool corn. Cut kernels from cob.
Mix corn kernels, black beans, avocados, cilantro, tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno pepper together in a bowl.
Whisk olive oil, lime zest, and lime juice together in a bowl; pour over corn mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
California farmers produce fresh, high-quality fruits, nuts, vegetables, proteins and fibers right in our own backyard. It takes water to grow the food we love and farming and ranching are pivotal to the health and stability of our state.
