Best 7 Grilled Corn And Bean Salad Valerie Bertinelli Recipes

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the green beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and add them to a mixing bowl.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Turn the heat off and add the mixture to the bowl with the green beans. Toss until everything is creamy and thoroughly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Top with the fried onions. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

GRILLED CORN AND BEAN SALAD (VALERIE BERTINELLI) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss. For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. Adapted from "One Dish at a Time: Delicious Recipes from My Italian-American Childhood and Beyond" by Valerie Bertinelli (c) Rodale 2012.

GRILLED CHOPPED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; prepare a bowl of ice water. Season the boiling water with salt. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Add the green beans to the pot with the carrots and continue cooking both for 3 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander, then immediately transfer to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the water and pat dry.
• Preheat a large (2-burner) grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Put the carrots and green beans on a baking sheet with the mushrooms, zucchini, squash and radicchio. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the olive oil on the vegetables and toss to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Grill the vegetables, in batches if necessary, until tender and well-marked, turning them over halfway (about 3 minutes for the green beans and carrots and 8 minutes for the mushrooms, radicchio, zucchini and squash). Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and chop into bite-size pieces. Slice the radicchio crosswise into shredded pieces.
• Add the smaller, whole leaves of Bibb lettuce to a large serving bowl. Top with the chopped vegetables.
• Whisk together the shallot, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Top with grated cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

AVOCADO AND GRILLED CORN SALAD WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Rub the corn and jalapeno with the oil and grill, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 6 minutes for the jalapeno and 12 minutes for the corn. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and place them in a large bowl. Add the avocado and romaine to the bowl.
• Stem and seed the grilled jalapeno. Combine the jalapeno, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, lemon juice, dill, anchovy, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Add just enough of the dressing to coat the salad; season with salt. Toss gently to combine.

ARUGULA-CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the cilantro-lime dressing: In a cruet, shake together the lime juice, cilantro, grapeseed oil, sour cream and some salt and pepper until creamy. Set aside until ready to serve the salad.
• For the arugula-corn salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse under cold water to cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs.
• Combine the arugula, bell peppers, grape tomatoes and corn kernels in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat.

ROASTED TOMATO AND CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Add the tomatoes, corn, poblano, onions and garlic cloves to the prepared baking sheet. Toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, flip the poblano and corn over and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, until charred and the tomatoes have softened and begun to split. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
• Peel the garlic. Remove the skin and stem from the poblano (remove the seeds, too, for a milder salsa).
• Add the roasted tomatoes, poblano, onions and garlic to a food processor, along with the cilantro, jalapeno, coriander, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture is evenly combined but still has some texture (similar to crushed canned tomatoes). Remove to a bowl.
• Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and stir into the salsa. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lime juice.
• Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to serve (see Cook's Note). Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with tortilla chips.

GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. On the other side of the stove place a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the corn to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water and allow drain on a plate covered with paper towels.
• Once the grill is hot, brush the grill pan with oil and place the bell pepper and jalapeño on the pan. Grill the bell peppers until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the jalapeño until marked on all sides, about 3 minutes.
• Brush the grill pan again with oil and place the dry ears of corn on the pan. Cook, turning the corn occasionally, until the kernels start to blacken on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, slice the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. Chop the bell pepper and add it to the bowl. Remove the stem end and seeds from the grilled jalapeño, then finely chop it and add to the corn mixture. Add the black beans, onion and cilantro.
• For the vinaigrette: Combine the lime zest, lime juice, tomato, red onion, garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, coriander, salt and chili powder in a blender. Blend on high speed until almost smooth. Lower the speed to medium-low; with the motor running slowly drizzle in the oil. Turn off the blender, scrape the sides if needed and add the cilantro. Pulse a few times until the cilantro looks like small specks of green.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables in the bowl and toss. Taste and adjust any seasoning, adding more salt as needed. Sprinkle the salad with queso fresco just before serving.
