Avocado Corn Salad Moosewood Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium. Continue cooking for 2 minutes uncovered to evaporate excess water. Remove from heat and cool.
• Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Cut avocado into 1/2 inch cubes. (Do this by making 1/2 inch spaced cuts in the avocado crosswise and lengthwise. Be sure not to cut into the skin of the avocado. Then use a spoon to scoop the flesh out.)
• Put the avocado cubes in a medium bowl. Add lime juice and stir gently. Chop the bell pepper and add to the bowl. Add cooked corn and red onion to the bowl. Gently stir and serve.
• This salad is best eaten on the day it is made because the avocado tends to darken by the next day.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn 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, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a skillet or saucepan, combine the corn, oil, water, cumin, and cayenne. Cook, covered, on medium heat for 4 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Uncover and cook for an additional minute or two to evaporate the excess moisture. Set aside to cool.
• Place avocado in a medium bowl, and coat with lemon or lime juice. Stir in the red onion, bell pepper, and corn mixture. Add salt and optional hot sauce to taste. Garnish with cilantro as desired.
• Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes if desired.

Steps:

• Saute bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red bell pepper, green onions and corn, and mix together. Carefully stir in the cubed avocado.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine and vinegar dressing, the blue cheese dressing, and the honey.
• Pour the dressing mixture over the salad and toss. Add bacon just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Steps:

• Place ears of corn in a microwave with husks still on and cook on high power until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Combine tomatoes and avocados in a large mixing bowl. Remove corn and cut kernels from cobs into the bowl. Add cilantro and mix together.
• Mix oil, honey, lime juice, garlic, cayenne, and black pepper together and pour over vegetable mixture. Toss and serve.
