Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipe Spicy Corn Relish Over Mixed Greens
Recipe courtesy of Chef Carole Levy, PPMNY Culinary EducatorMakes nearly 3 cups.
Ingredients
2-3 ears of fresh corn, husks and silks removed (2 cups kernels)
- ½ cup red pepper, finely chopped
- 2 T red onion, finely chopped
- 2 limes
- Avocado
- Super mixed greens
1 T sriracha for harissa
- 2 T lime juice
- 1 T water
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to broil.
2. Set a small bowl upside down inside of a larger bowl. Place the large end of one husked corn cob on top of the small bowl and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off of the cob. Rotate the cob and repeat until all the kernels are cut off, then repeat with the other cobs. All the kernels should be contained in the bowl.
3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Spread the corn evenly on the baking sheet, squeeze half of a lime over the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until kernels are brown.
4. In a large bowl, add diced bell pepper, onions, and grilled corn. Toss to mix.
5. In a smaller bowl, whisk harissa, lime juice, and water together. Toss the dressing over the corn mixture.
6. Serve corn over mixed greens with sliced avocado or, alternatively, you can use corn salad to top off your favorite taco.
Chef's Notes
If you want to make your own sriracha, here is a simple fast recipe. I omit the salt and replace maple syrup with date paste.
