CSA Corn and Black Bean Salad

September 12, 2015 by Charles Leave a Comment

CSA Salad

We are now in the second year of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) from the La Vista farm in Godfrey, Illinois. Every other week, we pick up our bounty of fresh vegetables and herbs. In recent weeks, we have been enjoying La Vista’s tomatoes, okra, summer squash, basil, and other similar items from our farm basket. We have also supplemented from our herb garden, replete with rosemary, thyme, and dill, giving us the full array of summer flavors.

This recipe comes together in a matter of minutes and has wonderful flavor, with some of the best vegetables from the Midwest. This salad makes a great side dish, but can also serve as a main course.
