Sous Vide Swordfish with Bean and Corn Salad Recipe

Sous vide swordfish is one of the dishes my wife absolutely loves. Here I pair it with a simple but flavorful salad of beans, corn, collard greens and avocado rounded out with some lemon juice to brighten it up. I like to serve it with cooked farro, but you can use any grain you prefer, or even omit it if you want.
