This is my favorite salad and I can eat it all the time.
Salad:
Baby spinach: about one handful for each person.
Sweet corn: 2 tsp per person.
Dressing:
Lemon juice: 1 tsp
Red wine vinegar: 1 tsp
Olive oil: 1 tsp
Freshly ground salt
Freshly ground pepper.
Wash and spin the spinach until dry. Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together in a salad bowl. Add spinach and corn to the dressing, mix well.
What makes it:
The corn. I used corn that we bought fresh off a farm in upstate NY last summer and froze afterwards. It’s bright yellow, crunchy, sweet and really tasty. I cannot get the same taste with ears of corn from the super market.
Use red wine vinegar if available. I use rainbow peppers.
Variations:
Slice a boiled egg and add to the salad. I like to zap the sliced egg in the microwave with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil for about 15 seconds before adding.
