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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
3 ears corn, husks and silk removed
1 1/2 pounds green beans, stem ends snapped off
3 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

2 cups of small, mixed red and green heirloom tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove corn with tongs and set aside on a cutting board to cool. Using a strainer, remove any corn silk remaining in the pot.

Meanwhile, cut the corn kernels off the cobs and put kernels in a large bowl. Drain the beans in a colander, shake to remove excess water, and put in bowl with corn.

FRESH CORN AND GREEN BEAN SALAD



Fresh Corn and Green Bean Salad image

A wonderful salad that takes full advantage of summer's best bounty. Paired with grilled meats, this will work well at any BBQ or picnic. Finding this in November has be already longing for next year. In the meantime, I may try this with the frozen variety though I bet it won't be nearly as good. (Update: After WI Cheesehead's experiment with frozen vegetables I managed to track down some fresh corn and beans. Following the directions presented here, the result is sweet crisp vegetables that you simply can't get from the freezer.)

1/4 pound fresh tomatillos, husked
1 small serrano or 1/2 jalapeño chili
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon chopped onion, soaked in cold water for five minutes, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

FRESH CORN, TOMATO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD



Fresh Corn, Tomato and Green Bean Salad image

One of the great pleasures of summer is the abundance of fresh vegetables. I had some leftover grilled corn and a few other fresh ingredients lying around, so I made this salad. I prefer the simple sweetness of the fresh vegetables in here, and raw onions don't sit well with my husband, but I bet a little onion and garlic would be great in this salad, so I added them as optional ingredients. I bet this would also be good topped with a little crumbled bacon or feta cheese.

GREEN BEAN AND CORN ALMONDINE



Green Bean and Corn Almondine image

The classic French dish of green beans and almonds gets a fun update with the addition of corn, which lends extra sweetness, chewy texture and pops of golden color. The simply prepared dish allows the tender green beans and corn to shine in a velvety garlic- and thyme-infused butter sauce. The nutty flavor and delicate crunch of toasted sliced almonds round out the dish. (Haricots verts also work beautifully here, in place of the green beans, but decrease the steaming time to 3 minutes.) This quick and versatile salad pairs well with many different foods and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sliced almonds (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
5 thyme sprigs
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears), or use thawed from frozen

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) deep skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add green beans and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and steam until beans are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter and corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn and green beans are tender and glazed in the sauce, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer beans and corn to a large platter and spoon over any remaining sauce. Garnish with the toasted almonds and more black pepper.

Tips:

  • When choosing corn for this salad, look for ears that are heavy for their size and have tightly packed kernels.
  • To remove the kernels from the cob, hold the ear vertically and use a sharp knife to slice downward.
  • If you don't have fresh green beans, you can use frozen or canned green beans instead. Just be sure to drain and rinse them before using.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a combination of red and yellow bell peppers.
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. Just be sure to use a light hand, as dried parsley can be quite strong.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this salad, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or zucchini.

Conclusion:

This fresh corn and green bean salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer picnics and potlucks. It is also a great way to use up fresh garden vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
