| Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Fill another large pot half full with ice water.
When the water in the first pot has reached a rolling boil, add about half of the green beans and blanch just until tender, 1-2 minutes, then immediately plunge them into the ice water.
Repeat with the rest of the beans.
Bring the water back to a boil. Add corn and blanch until tender but still crisp, about 3 mintues. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water. Cut the kernels off the cobs.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, corn and all remaining ingredients; toss to mix well and serve. |
