GREEN BEANS, CORN AND CARROT SALAD



Green Beans, Corn and Carrot Salad image

This is a sturdy, appealing picnic recipe made from haricots verts, corn and carrots. Haricots verts, by the way, are skinny green beans, but you can use regular ones instead. Like the sandwich, this salad gets even better the longer it sits, and is relatively indestructible. With all the contrasting colors, it's pretty, too.

ARUGULA, CORN AND HERB SALAD



Arugula, Corn and Herb Salad image

Corn, lightly steamed and cut off the cob, is terrific in salads. It goes very nicely with arugula, the sweet corn providing a beautiful contrast to the pungent salad green. Although we don't think of corn as a nutritional powerhouse, it's a good source of several nutrients, including thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. A cup of corn supplies 19 percent of the recommended daily dose of folate, and about a quarter of the daily value for thiamin.

Time 15m

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, puréed (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium-size ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Steam the corn until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs.

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.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear sweet corn
3 cups baby or wild arugula

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

  • If you don't have green beans, you can use another type of vegetable, such as snap peas or asparagus.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or cheese.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, you can use a vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
