Ingredients

  • 1 can corn kernels

  • 1 can kidney beans

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp sour cream (or greek yogurt)

  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

  • 1 tbsp pickled Jalapeno (finely chopped)

  • 1/2 cup coriander leaves

  • 1/2 cup green onions

  • 1/2 red onion

  • 2-3 tbsp lime juice

Directions

  • In a large frying pan melt the butter, add garlic and stir for 10 seconds. Add corn and cook for 5 minutes (or until golden brown). Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the corn is cooking, prepare the dressing. Mix the mayo, sour cream, lime juice, and parmesan cheese.
  • Take out the kidney beans into a bowl. Add the dressing. Pour in the cooked corn and stir to combine (the cheese will melt because of the warm corn).
  • Add the green onions, onions, pickled jalapenos, and coriander leaves. Toss to combine. 
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
