Green Bean, Roasted Corn and Black Bean Salad

Picnic time recipes again. After a short trip to the farmers market I found the beautiful green beans and corn I used to make this salad. I absolutely love going to farmers market and will pick that choice any day over a grocery store even if it does take a little more time. That just picked freshness gets me every time. I also came home with heritage tomatoes, fresh basil that I will show you what I made in the next post.

This salad is easy to make, you could even use leftover roasted corn if you had it from a previous meal. Since I was taking this on a picnic I made a light garlic vinaigrette so I wouldn’t need to be worried about spoiling in this hot, humid weather. Whenever possible I avoid mayonnaise based salads for picnics or outdoor events in the summer unless I know it will be sitting out less than 30 minutes. I know that is under what the experts says for a time safe period but I err on the safe but not sorry page here.

I blanched the green beans until they were just tender and immediately got them in the vinaigrette while still warm so they could start soaking it up. When I on my cutting board and used the bottom of a flat pan to crush the peppers to the made the vinaigrette I wanted a peppery bite in it so since my pepper mill is hard to get the size of pieces I wanted the pepper to be, I put the peppercorns size I wanted.
