GRILLED CORN, ASPARAGUS AND SPRING ONION SALAD
In this cookout perfect salad, corn, asparagus and spring onions benefit from the deep flavors of the grill. Their outer layers get a rustic char, their full sweetness is released, and they go from raw to cooked while maintaining a crunchy bite. Still warm, they're doused in one of Mexico's most fun ways to dress grilled vegetables or potato chips, an easy-to-eat sauce where umami, citrus and heat converge. The mixture is typically referred to as salsa preparada, meaning you simply mix these sauces together to "prepare" your food. You may wonder if the soy, Worcestershire and Maggi sauces compete, but each has a different character of sazón, which is whisked with plenty of fresh squeezed lime juice and a punch of chile oil. If more heat is desired, you can add a splash of your favorite hot sauce. This salad is great solo as an appetizer, but it is even better served right next to grilled meats.

Steps:
- Heat grill to high. Lightly brush corn, asparagus and spring onions with vegetable oil. Place them on the grill and spread them out in one layer so they can cook evenly. Flip the vegetables a couple of times until they are charred on all sides but retain a firm bite; asparagus and spring onions should cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, and corn about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the grill as they are ready, then set aside.
- While the vegetables grill, combine lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Maggi, chile oil and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Once vegetables have cooled enough to handle, cut asparagus and spring onions into thirds and add them to the bowl. Shave the kernels from the corn, discarding the cobs, and add kernels to the bowl. Toss to combine with the sauce. Add the halved tomatoes and combine well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELIZED CORN AND ASPARAGUS PASTA WITH RICOTTA
This summery pasta features caramelized corn, crisp-tender asparagus and earthy turmeric, which provides the dish's sunny hue. It's not easy to cook corn to the point of browning without losing all its moisture, but a pinch of sugar helps speed up the caramelization process. Vermouth lends acidity to the light, glossy garlicky sauce, but you could use wine, or even a tablespoon of lemon juice or champagne vinegar for lift. Fresh ricotta provides richness.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the corn: Slice the corn kernels off the cobs, and add the cobs to the pot of water. (This lends a hint of sweetness.)
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook over medium-high, according to package instructions, until tender but toothsome, just shy of al dente.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the corn kernels and sugar, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes. Stir in the asparagus, scallions and 1 teaspoon turmeric, and cook, stirring frequently, until just softened and corn is caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Once the pasta is just short of al dente, reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta, and discard the corn cobs.
- Add the butter, garlic and remaining turmeric to the large skillet and cook over medium until butter melts and starts to foam, about 3 minutes. Whisk in vermouth to deglaze, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, then whisk in 1 cup pasta water.
- Add the pasta, and toss with tongs over medium heat until thoroughly coated and al dente, 1 to 2 minutes, adding pasta water as needed. Remove from heat, stir in half the corn mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta among plates. Dollop with ricotta and top with remaining corn mixture. Drizzle with olive oil. If using lemon, shower the pasta with lemon zest, then cut the lemon into quarters, for squeezing on top, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest corn and asparagus possible. Freshness will ensure the best flavor and texture. Look for corn with bright green husks and plump kernels, and asparagus with tight tips and bright green stalks.
- Blanch the corn and asparagus before adding them to the salad. Blanching will help to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the corn, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the corn is bright yellow and tender. Remove from the pot and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the asparagus. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Remove from the pot and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of toppings and dressings to customize the salad to your liking. Some popular options include cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, bacon, and a vinaigrette dressing.
- Make the salad ahead of time for easy entertaining. The salad can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. Simply store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Conclusion:
Summer corn salad with asparagus is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer gathering. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this salad a try.
