Equipment

Ingredients

4 sweetcorn cobettes or 2 corn on the cobs
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 clove garlic crushed
0.5 tsp ground cumin
2 roasted red peppers from a jar roughly chopped
4 spring onions finely sliced
400 g (14 oz) tin mixed bean or Mexican style bean mix drained and rinsed
75 g (2.6 oz) feta crumbled
2 tbsp coriander chopped

Instructions

Blanch the corn in a large pan of boiling water for 3 minutes. Refresh under cold water and pat dry with kitchen roll.
Preheat the barbecue or grill to a medium heat. Brush the corn generously with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and grill for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn has char marks. Allow to cool slightly.
Hold the corn against a chopping board and carefully run a sharp knife down the sides to remove the kernels.
To make the dressing, put the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil, the lime juice, garlic and cumin in a small bowl. Whisk together with a fork.
Put the sweetcorn, peppers, spring onions, beans, feta and coriander in a serving bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss together. Serve straight away.

Notes

Cheese alternatives - try goat cheese, ricotta salt or vegan feta as substitutes.

Extras - customise with cherry tomatoes, avocado chunks, red onion or cucumber slices for colour and variety. Jalapeños or chilli flakes will add spice.
