Recipe of the week late sorry!

Healthy grilled corn salad

shopping list
3 ears corn
can black beans
fresh cilantro
small red onion
3 plum tomatoes
2 limes

Rinse & drain black beans and leave in strainer to fully drain. Chop or slice 1/2 the red onion & chop the tomatoes. Clean and chop about 3 tablespoons of cilantro and take about 1/2 the can of olives and slice then in half. Grill corn for 3 minutes each side until brown - if you cant grill preheat yoru oven to 425 brush the corn with canola oil & salt & pepper & cook for 5 minutes. Then cut kernels off the cob and into a bowl.

THANKS!!!

I hate cilantro too, like with a PASSION. I usually either omit it entirely or use some kind of chili peppers in it's place, diced up small, for the flavor.

Cilantro seems to be an acquired taste - people either love it or hate it.

Or, I could use chili peppers AND parsley! Thanks ladies!

Which reminds me of a funny story - my dad grows and dries out super hot peppers which he likes to use to crush up on his pasta (or sandwich, or cereal...etc.) - we're Italian. Anyway, FH is obsessed with spice. So he and my dad are chatting and my dad's like 'oh, so you like spicy things, you think you can handle one of my peppers?' and FH being the macho man he is, is like 'bah, what a joke, i will eat a whole one!' What a mistake on FH's part... I have NEVER, in 7 years, seen him so defeated.

needless to say, FH has NEVER lived that one down... my dad constantly reminds him about it.
