ARUGULA, CORN AND HERB SALAD
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.

Steps:
- Toss first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk oil and lemon juice in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss to coat. Divide salad among plates. Using vegetable peeler, shave curls of Parmesan atop each salad and serve.
Tips:
- Make sure the corn kernels are fresh and sweet. You can use frozen corn kernels if fresh corn is not available, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Heat the oil to the proper temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fritters to cook unevenly.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Corn fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve them with a warm tomato salad, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of honey, corn fritters are sure to please everyone at the table.
