Corn, Cilantro, and Arugula Salad with Yogurt Dressing Recipe

Corn, Cilantro, and Arugula Salad with Yogurt Dressing Recipe

  • 4 to 5 ears large sweet corn, shucked and silk removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups baby arugula, stemmed
  • 12 large radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon ground chipotle (optional)
  1. With a sharp knife, cut all the kernels from the cobs. You should have about 4 cups.
  2. In a 10-inch sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the corn, cover, and sauté 2 to 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the corn, arugula, radishes, coriander, and cilantro. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vinegar, mustard, and salt until well blended. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1½ tablespoons of oil until emulsified, and add the chipotle, if desired. The dressing may be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 1 hour.
  5. Just before serving, toss the salad with half the dressing. Add more dressing to taste.
