Sweet Corn And Roasted Red Pepper Arugula Salad Recipes

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.

SWEET CORN + ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Prep corn: Remove the husks and stringy fibers from the corn cut/slice the corn off the cob. See this, 3 Mess Free Ways to get Corn of the Cobb, for a quick tutorial. Prep the bell pepper and onion.
• Assemble: In a large mixing bowl, place the arugula, corn, bell pepper and onion. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and salt & pepper. Mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning adding more lemon juice or salt & pepper as needed.
• Serve: Enjoy right away, or let the salad set for about 10 minutes (you can also chill it if you like). The arugula will soften and slightly wilt during that time making the salad look more proportioned and not so arugula heavy (it makes it a little easier to eat).
• Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or so.

ROASTED SWEET CORN SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Move the oven rack to it's highest position. Cut the kernels from the corn then spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Spritz the corn lightly with cooking spray then season with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden. Keep a close eye on the corn and stir periodically to prevent over browning. Set the roasted corn aside to cool slightly. Cut and remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper using a teaspoon. Always wash your hands well after handling peppers. Finely dice the jalapeno, red onion, and red pepper. Dice and seed the roma tomatoes and chop the cilantro. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the oil, honey and 1/4 cup of lime juice then add the diced vegetables to the bowl. Add the roasted corn to the veggies and mix well. At this point, I like to taste the salsa so I can adjust the seasonings and add a little more lime juice if needed. I usually add a little more garlic salt and pepper but, it's your party, so season the salsa to your taste. Serve chilled or room temperature with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos/quesadillas or on a taco salad. Yield: 2 cups Cook's note: If you use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper, spray it lightly with cooking spray to avoid sticking. It's not necessary to do this with parchment paper.

GRILLED CORN AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH SMOKY TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Remove from the grill. Transfer the peppers to a paper or plastic bag, close tightly, and let cool for 10 minutes. Let the corn cool.
• Remove the corn husks and silk. Cut the kernels from the cob and set aside. Scrape the skin from the peppers with a knife. Reserve the skinned peppers separately from the corn.
• In a blender, puree the peppers, tomato, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, strain through a fine mesh strainer, and reserve.
• On individual serving plates, divide the vinaigrette evenly among the plates. In a large bowl, toss together the corn and arugula and distribute onto the plates. Garnish with the olives and cherry tomatoes. Shave the Parmigiano over the top. Serve immediately.
