Elote was one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. Several a Saturday afternoon was spent in the backyard, consuming too many margaritas with friends. I also love eating elote, except not in public because I make such a mess of myself. Ha. Anyway, I was going to make my usual black bean, edamame and carrot salad, but went a different way. I’m glad that I did. Klass is a chili powder, lime seasoning that you should be able to find in your local grocery store. If not, online.

• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• 1 package edamame, thawed
• 1/2 C carrots, sliced
• 1 ear of cooked corn, sliced off cob
• 1/4 C olive oil
• juice from 2 limes
• 3-4TB mayo
• Klass seasoning to taste

For the edamame, I usually thaw it in a bowl with a little water in the microwave for a minute, then drain it. Add to the black beans, carrots and corn. Whisk up the olive oil, mayo, lime juice and seasoning. I added the juice of two limes, you could add more to thin out the mayo as well.

black bean, edamame, corn salad!

I have Klass!
