Arugula Corn Salad With Bacon Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Steam the corn until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs.
• Combine the corn, arugula, herbs and Parmesan in a salad bowl. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until rendered and just crisp and not black, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Reserve some of the bacon fat.
• Brush the corn lightly with the bacon fat and put on a baking sheet. Roast the corn, turning once or twice, until the some of the kernels get a little burnished, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool. (Alternatively, the corn can be cooked on a hot grill for about 10 minutes).
• Dice and chunk up the tomatoes - it's kind of great if they aren't all uniform. Put the pieces into a big salad bowl and season with salt and pepper. Don't be shy - tomatoes come alive with salt and pepper. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprigs right into the tomatoes. Toss together lightly and set aside to get juicy.
• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper in bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing.
• Slice the kernels off the cobs add to the salad with the bacon. Add the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss lightly to combine. Serve.

Steps:

• Cook the corn ears, in their husks, either on the grill for a smokey flavor, or by steaming in a large covered stock pot with an inch of boiling water at the bottom of the pot, for 12-15 minutes.
• Let the corn cool (can run under cold water to speed up the cooling), remove the husks and silk. I recommend cooking the corn in the husks for the added flavor that the husks impart.
• If you boil or steam the corn ears after you've already husked them, or if you cook them in the microwave, reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.To remove the kernels from the cobs, stand a corn cob vertically over a large, shallow bowl.
• Use a sharp knife to make long, downward strokes, removing the kernels from the cob, as you work your way around the cob. Note: it may help to work over a low table, to be in a better ergonomic position to cut the cobs this way.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix together the corn, chopped arugula, bacon, and onions. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and cumin.
• Mix dressing into salad just before serving. Taste and add more vinegar if necessary to balance the sweetness of the corn.

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Cook potatoes, stirring occasionally, in the same skillet over medium heat until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and salt; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.

• Transfer barley and soaking water to a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and most or all of water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, if using frozen corn, cook according to package directions; fresh corn does not need to be cooked.
• If necessary, drain excess water from barley. Return to pot and immediately add corn; mix well. In a large bowl, mix together oil and vinegar. Add basil or oregano, and chives. Add barley mixture and tomatoes, and mix gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
