The preparation

6 steps, about 23 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Prepare the Vegetables: If using fresh corn, cook the corn kernels in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain and let cool. If using frozen corn, simply thaw the corn.

  2. 02

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn, white beans, kidney beans, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. If you want an extra kick, add the finely chopped jalapeño.

  3. 03

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. 04

    Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the corn and bean mixture. Toss well to combine all the ingredients and ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.

  5. 05

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  6. 06

    Serve: Serve the salad chilled as a side dish with your ribs. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
