Cool Fresh Corn Relish
Makes 12 servings, about 1/3 cup each.
Ingredients
- 5 large ears organic corn (about 3 cups kernels)

- 3 Tbsps organic lime juice
- 2 Tbsps expeller-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

Substitute Cilantro for the parsley and add the black beans and jalapeno! Fabulous!
Try NOT cooking the corn, use it raw and enjoy an even more healthy version (and yummy, very sweet). Grow your own black beans!
Add some red Pepper to the black beans and it will be even better! Throw in some cheese and yummier yet.
add some black beans for additional fiber; yummy!
