CHOPPED MEXICAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, CORN, TOMATOES, AND



Chopped Mexican Salad With Roasted Peppers, Corn, Tomatoes, And image

This is a great chopped salad recipe that appeared in the July '06 edition of Fine Cooking. The only change I've made is cutting the corn off the cob and pan roasting the kernels in a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, rather than roasting the corn and then slicing them off the cob. It's very healthy, colorful, refreshing, and fun! Try this with Grilled Lime Shrimp #43737.

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 garlic clove

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons honey, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and finely ground
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Line baking sheet with foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over peppers and corn, rubbing in to vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast peppers about 20 minutes. Turn corn occasionally throughout cooking time. After roasting cut corn off cob and scrape skin off peppers. Dice peppers.

The salad dressing may be drizzled onto salad before serving or you may serve separately, allowing each guest to top their salad with the dressing individually.

  • Roast the peppers and corn: Roasting the peppers and corn will add a smoky, sweet flavor to your salad.
  • Use a variety of textures: A variety of textures will make your salad more interesting to eat. Try adding crunchy vegetables like jicama or cucumbers, soft vegetables like tomatoes or avocados, and creamy ingredients like cheese or avocado.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: A flavorful dressing will help to bring all of the flavors of your salad together. Try using a vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a salsa verde.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The roasted peppers and corn will lose their crunch if they sit for too long.
