Ingredients
- 1 flatbread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 corn cob
- 8-10 round green beans
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- Small handful of basil
Dressing
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Few sprigs of coriander
Method
- 1Heat oven to 180°C. Brush the flatbread on both sides with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, tear into pieces and bake for 5-8 minutes or until crispy.
- 2Cook the corn and beans by briefly immersing in boiling salted water, then dry-frying in a pan or on a barbecue until charred in places. When cool enough to touch, use a serrated knife to cut chunks of kernels from the cob. Keep the knife very close to the core so that you get the whole kernels. Toast the cumin seeds in same pan.
- 3Tumble the salad ingredients, including the tomatoes and basil, into a bowl. Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together and drizzle over.
Notes
Eat this salad on its own, with a piece of salmon or perhaps a lamb chop or three.
