  • 1 small can sweetcorn in water, drained, or 150g frozen sweetcorn.
  • Juice of half lemon
  • Black pepper



Directions

Method

* Combine all the ingredients, and season with black pepper, and fresh herbs if you have them.
* Chill.

This will keep a day or two in the fridge in an airtight container.
Alternatives

* Add cooked beans, or a can of kidney beans, drained.
