Ingredients

4 ears of corn
2 cups cooked black beans (or 1 16-ounce can, drained)
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, basil-flavored if available
Juice of 1 lime (or to taste)
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup basil leaves

Steps:

Shuck the corn and scrape off the kernels with a knife. Combine with the black beans in a bowl.
Cut the tomatoes into quarters, and add them to the beans with the onion. Add the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper, and mix well.
Just before serving, snip the basil leaves with scissors and mix them into the salad. Correct seasoning.
