Ingredients
- 2 Fresh Corns
- 100g French beans
- 8-10 Cherry tomatoes
- ½ Red apple,
- 1-2 tbsp Lemon juice or to your taste
- some mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silk of the the fresh corns. Rinse and place them in a pot of boiling water (water just enough to cover corns).
- Cover the pot and return the water to a boil. Cook the corns for about 8-10 minutes or until tender.
- While boiling the corns, wash French beans, remove ends and string and set aside.
- When the corns are cooked, add ½ tsp of salt into the water and boil for another 2 minutes, drain and leave to cool. Remove corn from cob with a sharp knife. (watch this video for how to remove corn from cob)
- Throw the French beans into the same pot of boiling and blanch for about 3-5 minutes. Transfer French beans into a bowl of ice water for 1 minute and drain well.
- Then dice French beans into small pieces and cut cherry tomatoes into quarters.
- Combine the corns, French beans and cherry tomatoes in a serving bowl. Mix well, cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
- Before serve, cut half apple into wedges and soak in water with little salt or lemon juice to prevent browning for one minute. Then chop apple into small pieces and mix together with the corn mixture.
- Lastly drizzle 1-2 tbsp lemon juice over corn salad (mayonnaise-optional) and toss well.

Hi Ann,This is a colour and refreshing corn salad.I love, love, love it!!Can i have a small cup please? Oops!! i guess it is long gone by now :pThanks for sharing this in LTU.mui
Hi Ann, did you use bi-colored corns for this recipe? I heard they are sweeter. Thanks!
Ann, I thought of using the frozen sweet corn kernels. You think 1 packet is enough? By the way, is this recipe enough for 25 people? Thanks!
Thank you, Ann!
Ai Li, I bought the normal one from NTUC. Next time I must get the bi-colored corns. Thanks!
Ai Li, This recipe is too small to feed 25 people. Better buy the large packet and mix with fruit. You might need 2 packets.
Oh I love this salad! Vibrant, healthy and delicious! Well done as always!
Oh this is such a happy colour salad. Love it!
Looks so colourful and refreshing!AL
Very refreshing and healthy salad , Ann ! Love the different texture so as the vivid color of your appetizing salad 😀

哇!多姿多彩的salad, 非常健康,给我一杯!
What a beautiful and colorful corn salad! Really excellent use of light, Ann. 🙂
Thank you everyone for your lovely compliments 🙂
Ann, may I ask where did you get those interesting spoons? Thanks!
Ai Li, I think better make in the morning and place in fridge for few hours before serving. As the cut tomatoes cannot stay long in the fridge, they'll become too watery.
Ann, thanks! Just a curious question : Can I mix the corn, french beans and cherry tomatoes overnight in the fridge? Will add in the apples just before serving. Thanks!
Ann, thanks for your prompt response. Which branch and did you buy long ago? I went to the Rivervale mall branch but they did not have them. Thanks!
Ai Li, Is from Daiso. Is at the bento shelves.
I usually go to Plaza Singapura.
Thanks, Ann!
