Best 7 Lynns Corn Salad Recipes

FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
• Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

JENNIFER'S CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix black beans, corn, feta cheese, and green onions together in a bowl.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and sugar together in a separate bowl until smooth; drizzle over corn mixture and toss to coat.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.

GRILLED CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the corn by one of two methods: the outdoor method or the indoor method.
• For the outdoor method: Soak the corn in their husks overnight in salt water. When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-low heat. Place the soaked corn, still in their husks, on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 20 minutes, then remove the corn from the grill and let it cool enough so that you can handle it. Peel off and discard the husks.
• For the indoor method: Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Husk the corn and season with olive oil and salt. Grill on the grill pan, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Mix together the anchovy, garlic and jalapeno in a large bowl with a large pinch salt. Add the lime juice and zest and whisk in the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, scallions and avocado and gently toss.
• Cut the kernels off of the cobs, and add them to the salad. Toss to combine and taste for seasoning. You may need to add some additional salt.

CORN AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until slightly soft but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut corn kernels from the cobs; discard cobs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Cook potatoes, stirring occasionally, in the same skillet over medium heat until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and salt; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir corn kernels into potato mixture and cook until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Pour corn-potato mixture into a large bowl. Add bacon, red onion, cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes; toss to combine.
