Instructions
- Remove the husks and silk of the the fresh corns. Rinse and place them in a pot of boiling water (water just enough to cover corns).

- Then dice French beans into small pieces and cut cherry tomatoes into quarters.
- Combine the corns, French beans and cherry tomatoes in a serving bowl. Mix well, cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
- Before serve, cut half apple into wedges and soak in water with little salt or lemon juice to prevent browning for one minute. Then chop apple into small pieces and mix together with the corn mixture.
