Categories     Corn

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large ears of corn
2 cups of chopped arugula (about one bunch)
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & freshly ground black pepper

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.
