¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice

FRIED SKILLET CORN SALAD



Fried Skillet Corn Salad image

In the South, any kind of vegetable side dish can be called a salad. We like to say that if you add mayonnaise and celery to something, you've got a salad. While this "salad" has neither mayo nor celery, it can be served cold or hot, so I think that counts, right? Sweet summer corn is sautéed with pork belly, red onion, bell pepper and tomatoes for a colorful and savory side.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Four 6-by-1/2-inch-thick slices pork belly (about 1/2 pound)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 red onion, finely diced (1 3/4 cups)
1 small green bell pepper, finely diced (3/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 6 ears of corn)
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pork belly and cook until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet to paper towels to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the butter and heat until melted. Add the onion and bell pepper. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables are softened and begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and season with salt and pepper, then chop the pork belly. Add the pork belly and tomatoes and cook until the corn is softened and the tomatoes begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Vegetables: Choose fresh, crisp vegetables at their peak to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Variety of Colors: Incorporate a variety of colors into your salad for visual appeal and a wider range of nutrients.
  • Balance Flavors: Aim for a balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors to create a harmonious and satisfying dish.
  • Experiment with Dressings: Try different dressings to complement the flavors of the vegetables. Consider making your own dressing for a fresher, healthier option.
  • Keep it Simple: Don't overcrowd the salad with too many ingredients. Allow the natural flavors of the vegetables to shine through.
  • Fresh Herbs: Add fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.
  • Marinate Vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a flavorful dressing before assembling the salad enhances their taste.
  • Temperature Matters: Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing experience, especially during warm weather.

Conclusion:

Create a delicious and nutritious salad. Corned beef, with its distinct flavor, adds a unique touch, while the vegetables provide a colorful and crunchy contrast. With careful selection of ingredients and attention to detail, your corned vegetable salad will become a favorite side dish or light meal. Experiment with different variations and dressings to cater to your personal preferences and dietary needs. Remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients to let the natural flavors shine through. Enjoy the vibrant and flavorful corned vegetable salad as a refreshing and wholesome addition to your meals!
