Categories     Corn

Time 2h31m

Yield 4 side dish servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium fresh ears of corn or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen whole kernel corn
1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 medium sweet pepper (red, green or yellow)
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 -2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, bring 2 quarts lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Carefully add fresh ears of corn; return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until corn is tender (Or, cook the frozen corn according to package directions.) Drain corn well. When fresh corn is cool enough to handle, cut off corn kernels. Hold an ear of corn at an angle so that one end rests on cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut down across tips of kernels toward board. Repeat with remaining ears.
  • In a large bowl, combine the corn, cabbage, sweet pepper, and celery. To prepare the dressing, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cover; shake well. Pour dressing over corn mixture. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. To serve, spoon the salad onto leaf lettuce, if desired.

SUMMER CABBAGE SALAD



Summer Cabbage Salad image

A great salad for summer days, cool, crunchy and refreshingly light. The chicken breasts are preferably barbecued for extra flavor, but baked is ok too. I also often double this recipe and make 3 times the dressing and there is always great lunch leftovers remaining. People also love the dressing so more typically goes onto the salad when you let them self serve than would normally, and that's ok, it makes it very flavorful. You can also crush up the ramen not used when making the dressing, and top the salad with these as well. I prefer them without.
