Units
Scale
- 2 fresh corns
- 100g French beans
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red apple
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, or to your taste
- Some mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silk from the fresh corns. Rinse them thoroughly.
- Place the corns in a pot of boiling water, ensuring the water just covers the corns. Cover the pot and return the water to a boil.
- Cook the corns for about 10 minutes until tender. Remove from the pot and let them cool.
- While the corn is cooling, trim the ends of the French beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Blanch the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the red apple into small cubes.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, French beans, cherry tomatoes, and diced apple.
- Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine. Add mayonnaise if desired, and mix well.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or snack.
