By joanmarie

Ingredients

• 4 ears corn, husks removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup diced red bell pepper
• 3/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup snow peas, julienned
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium.

Grill the corn until lightly charred, about 2 minutes, turning frequently. Transfer the corn to a cutting board and using a serrated knife remove the kernels. Set aside.

In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, then the red bell pepper and the red onion. Saute for 3 minutes, then add the vinegar, beans and corn and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and the snow peas and saute for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat to a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or cold.
