Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 yellow bell pepper -- diced

1 green bell pepper -- diced

1 English cucumber -- diced

3 cups corn -- scraped off the cob (about 6 ears)

3 large vine-ripened tomatoes -- cubed

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 cups cooked black beans

 

YIELD: 4 TO 8 SERVINGS

 

This summer feast-luscious tomatoes, sweet corn, crunchy peppers, and crisp

cucumbers tied together with the smoky earth flavors of cilantro and black

beans-can only be enjoyed during the local fresh tomato season. Bread is

essential this salad-and anything goes. Corn bread is lovely, but a good French

bread or even a hearty whole wheat loaf will also make a pleasing accompaniment.

 

At least 1 hour before serving, combine the yellow and green bell peprers,

cucumber, onion, corn, tomatoes, parsley, and cilantro in a large bowl. Add the

vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste and toss well. Taste and add

more salt if needed. Set aside for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, mix in

the black beans.
