Tender kernels of of fresh sweet corn mixed with beans and a tangy lime dressing give this salad a delightful bite. Pair this with a grilled chicken breast for a THM-E (carb) meal. You can add additional jalapenos if you want more heat. This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

Very good
Made this last evening and refrigerated overnight. It is very delicious! I couldn’t stop eating it…so…gotta make another batch very soon. Also very pretty salad. This will make a great meal when the temperatures are sweltering.
