Prepare ice bath for corn and beans.
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil.
Add corn and blanch until tender, about 6 minutes.
Remove from water and place into ice bath until thoroughtly cooled.
Using knife (or whatever nifty kitchen gadget you might have for this) remove the kernels from the cobs place in a large bowl.
Next, add the cut green and wax beans to the boiling water and blanch until tender, about 1 minute.
With slotted spoon, remove from water and place into ice bath.
When beans are cooled, drain and add them in with the corn.

I check the flavor and adjust seasoning if I need to.
Serve immediately, but it tastes great the next day too.
