Corny Vegetable Salad Recipes

GARDEN-FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, tomato, green onion, cucumber, herbs (don't skimp on the herbs!), radishes, and jalapeño.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until blended, then pour it over the salad. Toss to combine.
• Add most of the feta or avocado (reserve some for garnish), and gently toss. Taste, and add more vinegar for more tang (I usually add another full tablespoon), or salt for more overall flavor. Garnish with the remaining feta or avocado.
• Serve promptly, or chill for later. This salad keeps well for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, covered.

DOUBLE CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Place a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil, then add the popping corn and cover with a lid. Once popped, add a few generous shakes of Tabasco, toss together and tip into a large salad bowl.
• In the same pan, grill the corn until lightly charred all over, turning regularly, then remove.
• Trim and roughly chop the lettuce, and trim and finely slice the spring onions, then add to the bowl.
• Break the cheeses into a blender, and spoon in the yoghurt. Peel and add the garlic, followed by the mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, then blitz until smooth, and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
• Carefully slice off the corn kernels and add to the bowl. Pour over the dressing, toss together and pick over the coriander leaves, then serve straight away.
