Valencia Corn Salad image

I first prepared this Spanish-influenced salad around the age of 17. Perfect for picnics or potlucks and low in calories, too! Cut out of a woman's magazine-probably Good Housekeeping or similar with just a few very minor changes.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups corn (frozen or fresh kernels, sometimes I roast the kernels)
1 (2 ounce) jar pimientos, drained or 2 ounces roasted red peppers
1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
1/4 cup red onion, diced small (my addition)
2 tablespoons fresh curly-leaf parsley, minced
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small pinch spanish smoked paprika (optional-depending on the other dishes served)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • NOTE: If using frozen corn, thaw first.
  • Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together.
  • In a serving bowl combine the salad ingredients. Pour the vinaigrette over the corn mixture and toss to coat well.
  • Cover and chill until ready to serve. Best prepared several hours in advance to allow the ingredients to marinate.
