Best Grilled Corn And Arugula Salad Recipes

GRILLED CORN, HEIRLOOM TOMATO, AVOCADO, AND ARUGULA SALAD

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Add corn to boiling water and cook, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath. Drain and pat dry.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; cook, turning, until lightly charred on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Let corn cool slightly; cut kernels from cobs. Transfer corn to a large bowl, along with tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, arugula, lime juice, red-wine vinegar, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Transfer corn mixture to a serving platter and arrange avocado slices around salad; season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

• Cut off tip of each cob. Stand corn in a wide shallow bowl; using a sharp knife, slice downward to release kernels. Discard cobs.
• In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula, tomatoes, Gorgonzola, chicken, and corn and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

RAW CORN, ARUGULA, AND PECORINO SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan. Season both sides of the chicken with spice rub, salt and pepper. Brush the chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil. Grill skin side down, until well-browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side.
• While the chicken is cooking, make the salad. Combine the corn kernels, arugula, and oregano in a bowl. Add desired amount of citrus vinaigrette, toss, and season with salt and pepper. With a vegetable peeler, shave the pecorino onto the salad. Toss lightly.
• Slice chicken into bite size pieces, place on top of salad and serve.
• Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly and add the red pepper flakes, and toss. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put mixture in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• Cut off and discard the stem ends of 2 oranges. Cut into quarters, cut out the core, and pull out seeds. Place in a blender or food processor. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange into the blender and add the red onion, sage, salt, and pepper. Pulse and then blend the fruit until as smooth as possible. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. The vinaigrette will be thick like a mayonnaise. If it is too thick, with the machine still on, thin with a little warm water. Taste for seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If the vinaigrette separates, shake it up in a jar or return it to the blender and blend until smooth again.

GRILLED CORN AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• 1. To prepare the corn, break off long hard stems and expose the ear by peeling back the husk without breaking it off at the base. Remove the silk by rubbing with your hands and a soft brush. Pull the husk back up over the ear to re-cover it. Soak the ears in cold water at least 20 minutes. 2. Grill the corn over a hot fire until it is dark yellow and the husks are well marked by the grill, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally to keep the husks from burning. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool. 3. Rub the inside of a large bowl with the cut garlic clove. Add the red onion and tomatoes. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels cleanly from the cobs into the bowl. Do not scrape the cobs to get the last bits; that will muddy the appearance of the dish. 4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Place the arugula in a large bowl and toss it with enough of the dressing to coat lightly, about one-third of the total amount. Arrange the arugula on a platter. 5. Add the remaining dressing to the corn and tomatoes and stir together gently. Spoon the corn mixture loosely over the arugula, then use a vegetable peeler to shave cheese over the top. Serve immediately.
