This is a recipe is another quick and easy summer salad. I deal for lunch. I centered this recipe around some fresh organic cucumbers that my friend Jamie gave me straight from her garden. You can truly taste the difference between store-bought and fresh local vegetables.

1 cup of organic corn

1 cup of organic black beans

1 organic cucumber

1 cup of organic cherry tomatoes

4 organic green onions chopped

Dressing:

1/2 Tbs balsamic vinegar

1Tbs olive oil

1/4 tsp of organic maple syrup

Combine corn and black beans in a bowl and stir. Cut cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, green onions and add to the corn and black beans.

Mix together ingredients for dressing and pour over salad and stir well. Refrigerate for 2 hours serve immediately.

Enjoy

*I try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
