Categories     Entree

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 - 3 oz. baby arugula
4 ears of corn, shucked (about 3 cups) *see notes
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 lemon, juice of
1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt + pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Prep corn: Remove the husks and stringy fibers from the corn cut/slice the corn off the cob. See this, 3 Mess Free Ways to get Corn of the Cobb, for a quick tutorial. Prep the bell pepper and onion.
  • Assemble: In a large mixing bowl, place the arugula, corn, bell pepper and onion. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and salt & pepper. Mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning adding more lemon juice or salt & pepper as needed.
  • Serve: Enjoy right away, or let the salad set for about 10 minutes (you can also chill it if you like). The arugula will soften and slightly wilt during that time making the salad look more proportioned and not so arugula heavy (it makes it a little easier to eat).
  • Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or so.

CORN SALAD WITH ARUGULA



Corn Salad with Arugula image

This is a wonderful way to use canned corn in a crowd-pleasing yet sophisticated salad. Be sure to use the soft goat cheese that comes in a log or pyramid. That way, you can slice it and your guests can choose as much as they want. Another tip is to mix the corn, onion, and dressing beforehand in a plastic container and give it a quick shake before assembling your salad. This makes it perfect for potlucks!

ARUGULA AND CORN SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND WHITE BEANS



Arugula and Corn Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and White Beans image

Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don't need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I've cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I've always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear sweet corn
3 cups baby or wild arugula
2 red bell peppers, roasted
1 1/2 cups (1 can) cooked white beans, such as cannellini or navy beans, rinsed if using canned beans
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil (more to taste)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, pureed or put through a press
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Steam corn for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and cut kernels off cob. Combine with arugula in a large bowl.
  • Remove seeds and membranes from roasted peppers and cut in 2-inch strips. Place in another bowl. Add beans, chives and basil and toss together.
  • Whisk together vinegars, salt, garlic, mustard, and olive oil. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss the rest with beans and peppers. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes and for up to 3 days (in the refrigerator).
  • Toss remaining dressing with arugula and corn. Line salad plates or a platter with arugula and corn mixture. Top with peppers and beans. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for ripe, brightly colored vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't overdress the salad: Arugula is a delicate green, so you don't want to weigh it down with too much dressing. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add some crunch: Corn kernels, nuts, and seeds are all great options for adding crunch and texture to your salad.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Herbs add a lot of flavor and complexity to salads. Some good options for this salad include basil, cilantro, parsley, and mint.
  • Serve immediately: Arugula salad is best served immediately, as the arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This arugula, corn, and herb salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It is packed with fresh vegetables and herbs, and the lemon-tahini dressing adds a tangy, creamy touch. This salad is also easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes.
