Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups wild rice, cooked
4 cups baby arugula
2 ears fresh corn
1.5 cups zucchini, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 cup sweet onion, sliced into thin wedges
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices thick sliced bacon
1 piece medium avocado
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 ounces juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon parsley, fresh
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon basil, dried

Steps:

  • OK, you need to cook the wild rice in advance and let it cool. The rest takes only 20 minutes
  • Shuck the corn and drop into unsalted water. Set heat to high. Bring to boil, wait 3 minutes and turn off. Remove ears from pot to cool.
  • Chop zucchini into 1/2" pieces. Combine with sliced onion and olive oil, and either saute on high heat or roast in a convection toaster oven (I do the latter) until onions start to brown and zucchini starts to soften. Don't overcook.
  • Cook the bacon. The bacon is key, find meaty, thick strips. Drain and chop into generous pieces.
  • Combine avocado, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, water, parsley, salt and basil in a food processor and whirl until smooth and creamy. Add water to desired consistency. You want about the same as the greek yogurt, not sour cream thick, not runny.
  • Cut the kernels off the corn.
