You know how exciting it is when you get invited to a someone’s cottage on a weekend…and then they mention it’s a Potluck…and you start sweating…not from the heat…but literally from worrying about what you are going to bring! 😉 No more worries, I have the perfect salad recipe, made with a lot of summer pantry staples, that takes about 5 minutes to make and people will love…Corn and Bean Salad.
It came up recently in my Facebook memories feed that I made this salad 3 times in ONE weekend! That was obviously a jam-packed period a few years ago…but it just goes to show that most often this is the salad I make for potlucks, graduation parties, barbecues, or even just to have on hand for lunch. It’s that good. 🙂 Even better…you can make it ahead!
I make sure I have these canned items on my summer pantry list so that a quick trip to a local farm market and I’m good to go.

I don’t like olives at all. Would the salad still taste good without them Jen?
Definitely! There have been times I have been out of olives….still delicious. 😊
