Categories     Salad

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups raw corn kernels (from about 4 cobs)
1 medium tomato, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup quartered and thinly sliced cucumber (preferably English cucumber)
1/2 cup chopped fresh leafy herbs (choose from basil, dill, mint, parsley and/or cilantro)
1/2 cup chopped radishes
1 medium jalapeño, very thinly sliced (omit if sensitive to spice)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, to taste
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese or 1 ripe avocado, diced

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.

PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD



Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad image

You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 6 ears corn, stripped of their kernels (2 to 3 cups)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste

1 medium ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more or less

Steps:

Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
  • Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.

CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO



Corn Salad With Tomatoes, Basil and Cilantro image

High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears of corn
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 lime
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1/4 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or other very hot chile (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
  • Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
