This corn and bean salsa is a great vegetarian side dish! The fresh sweetcorn, along with plenty of coriander, lime juice and garlic make it a fresh and flavoursome addition to any meal.
It is equally as good enjoyed as a meal on it’s own.
Corn and Butter Bean Salsa
Ingredients
- 3 ears corn
- 2 garlic cloves (10g)

Instructions
- Slice the bases off the ears of corn. Peel off the husks and remove the silky strings. Rinse under the tap.
