My husband hates frisee lettuce, but I actually love the stuff.  I think it adds great texture and interest to a salad.  But before I go any further and lose some of you, I’ll confess that I don’t consider myself a salad eater.  I find that a lot of cold salads fall flat, and rarely do I feel satisfied after eating them as my meal. 

But THIS, my friends, is the salad for non-salad eaters.  It’s honestly my favorite salad ever. It’s the warm and cold elements of the salad that make it both interesting and filling for me.  The warmth is brought by the sauteed white beans and corn (along with some red pepper flakes for a little heat!).  And the fresh frisee, cherry tomatoes, cilantro and creamy avocado give a certain coolness to each bite.  Truly, MKR

P.S. A quick tip if you’re getting your beans out of a can: as you probably know, you should rinse your beans as you take them out of the can because they’re super salty in there.  But what’s more: I recently learned that the only brand that doesn’t use harmful preserving ingredients in its cans is Eden Organics (which can be found at Whole Foods).  I’m always careful to use these beans to be safe!  xo
