    1 Lightly spray four 20cm lengths of foil with olive oil. Place half the lime juice, half the paprika and 2 teaspoons olive oil in a small bowl, mixing to combine. Dip cobs into lime mixture, rotating to cover all corn kernels, then wrap in prepared foil.

    2 Preheat a barbecue hotplate or large chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook, turning, for 8–10 minutes or until corn is lightly charred and tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

    3 Meanwhile, place honey, remaining lime juice, olive oil and paprika in a large salad bowl, mixing well to combine. Add beans, capsicum, coriander, mixed salad leaves and avocado slices, gently tossing to combine.

    4 Carefully unwrap corn cobs. Slice into thin rounds and add to salad, gently tossing to combine.

    5 Divide salad among four serving bowls, then serve garnished with extra coriander leaves.

    HFG tip

    Also known as mini capsicums, baby capsicums are sweeter than the usual variety. If you prefer, just cut your usual capsicums into smaller pieces.
