Arugula and Corn Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and White Beans image

Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don't need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I've cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I've always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear sweet corn
3 cups baby or wild arugula
2 red bell peppers, roasted
1 1/2 cups (1 can) cooked white beans, such as cannellini or navy beans, rinsed if using canned beans
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil (more to taste)

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Steam corn for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and cut kernels off cob. Combine with arugula in a large bowl.

  • Whisk together vinegars, salt, garlic, mustard, and olive oil. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss the rest with beans and peppers. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes and for up to 3 days (in the refrigerator).

This salad is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The roasted red peppers really make the dish.

The arugula in this salad was a bit too peppery for my taste. I think I'll use baby spinach next time.

I found this salad to be a bit too oily. I used less olive oil in the dressing, and it was still plenty flavorful.

This salad is a little bland for my taste. I added some chopped red onion and a squeeze of lemon juice to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of white beans, so I substituted chickpeas in this salad. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I simply cut the kernels off the cob and add them to the salad.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I loved this salad. The roasted red peppers and corn really balance out the bitterness of the arugula.
