ARUGULA, CORN AND HERB SALAD



Arugula, Corn and Herb Salad image

Corn, lightly steamed and cut off the cob, is terrific in salads. It goes very nicely with arugula, the sweet corn providing a beautiful contrast to the pungent salad green. Although we don't think of corn as a nutritional powerhouse, it's a good source of several nutrients, including thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. A cup of corn supplies 19 percent of the recommended daily dose of folate, and about a quarter of the daily value for thiamin.

CORN SALAD WITH ARUGULA



Corn Salad with Arugula image

This is a wonderful way to use canned corn in a crowd-pleasing yet sophisticated salad. Be sure to use the soft goat cheese that comes in a log or pyramid. That way, you can slice it and your guests can choose as much as they want. Another tip is to mix the corn, onion, and dressing beforehand in a plastic container and give it a quick shake before assembling your salad. This makes it perfect for potlucks!

  • To save time, use pre-cooked barley or cook a large batch ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
  • If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels. Just be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • For a more flavorful salad, roast the corn on the cob before cutting the kernels off.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as diced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
  • For a heartier salad, add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. Leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
