Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, bell pepper, jicama, edamame, green onion, and cilantro.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour to let the flavors meld together.

  5. 5

    Grilling the corn first will enhance the flavor and add a smoky touch, but this step is totally optional.

  6. 6

    Peel the husks back, leaving them attached at the base, close the husks, and soak the ears in their husks in cold water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning.

  7. 7

    Then grill over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the husks are charred and the corn is tender.
