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.

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

Salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste

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).

I tried this recipe and it was really good! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more salt and pepper to the dressing.
