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.

ARUGULA, CORN AND HERB SALAD



Arugula, Corn and Herb Salad image

The drought that much of the nation is experiencing this summer is expected to affect the price of milk and meat because of the feed corn that these commodities rely on. But interestingly, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, shoppers are not likely to see higher prices for corn on the cob because sweet corn is not as vulnerable to drought conditions. Corn on the cob that is sold in supermarkets is an irrigated crop, like other vegetables and fruits grown on large farms. However, smaller farms that sell their produce at farmers' markets in drought-stricken areas are having a difficult time with their yields, so you may see a spike in prices there. The season for good, fresh sweet corn is such a short one that I will pay the price for it, just as I'll spend money on heirloom tomatoes.

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!

Tips:

  • For the freshest corn, choose ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are signs of age.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to thaw the frozen corn before using it.
  • Arugula is a peppery green that adds a nice bite to this salad. If you don't like arugula, you can substitute another type of green, such as spinach or kale.
  • Feta cheese is a salty, tangy cheese that pairs well with the sweetness of the corn and the bitterness of the arugula. If you don't like feta, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
  • Lemon vinaigrette is a simple dressing that brightens up the salad. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice and olive oil to taste.

Conclusion:

This fresh corn arugula salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some fresh corn on hand, give this salad a try!
