What You Need

3/4

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing, divided

1/4

cup yellow mustard

ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed

1/2

lb. fresh green beans, trimmed, quartered and cooked

jicama, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

tomatoes, cut into wedges

1/2

cup chopped fresh basil

Make It

HEAT grill to low heat.

MIX 1/4 cup dressing and mustard in shallow dish until well blended. Add corn; turn to evenly coat. Transfer corn to grill; reserve dressing mixture.

GRILL corn 15 to 20 min. or until tender, turning and brushing occasionally with reserved dressing mixture. Remove corn from grill; cool. Cut corn from cobs; place in large bowl.

ADD beans, jicama, tomatoes, basil and remaining dressing; mix well.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Prepare salad as directed but do not add basil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. Toss with basil just before serving.

How to Remove Corn Kernels from the Cob

Cut off the tip from the cob to flatten the end. Stand the cob upright on the flat end. Using a very sharp knife, cut downward, removing 3 or 4 rows of corn at a time.

Substitute

For a flavor boost, substitute GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard for the yellow mustard.

This is a great salad for a party. I took a few shortcuts. Didn't want to heat up the grill so I used frozen corn & green beans and Dijon mustard. First time to use jicama. It was a great crunch addition. Everyone loved this salad

I didn't think that this was going to go over very well, but it was a big hit at a dinner party! The guests all asked me to email them the recipe!

I made this salad for a family gathering on Memorial Day and every one loved it. My son phoned later and asked for the recipe. It is very tasty and easy to make. It's a big plus that you can make it ahead of time, perfect to take to a picnic or BBQ. I will definitely make it again.

exceptionally good flavor & very popular for picnics. I have made this salad twice & my family keeps asking when I will make it again.

What a wonderful salad! I'm not a mustard fan so I used it sparingly. I also added black beans which added another texture and color. I think I'll try adding bacon bits next time. A real keeper!

I very much enjoyed this salad. It is colorful and the jicima adds a new flavor and texture. I will not only be making this for my family again, but I'll make it to take to BBQ's and other social events.
