This recipe is adapted from the December/January Delicious magazine. Corn is in season at the moment and beautifully juicy. Corn is also a good source of the antioxidant lutein, which is important for eye health and preventing macular degeneration.
Rocket, corn & zucchini salad
I made this for my dinner party , so quantities below are for 12 people as a side dish. You could also add some lima beans and fetta cheese, to make it more of a main dish.
- 5 corn cubs, cut into 3cm sections
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 3 zucchinis, thinly sliced with a peeler
- 2 yellow capsicums, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch of rocket
Cook the corn in a large pan of boiling water for 6 – 7 minutes and then refresh in a bowl of iced water.
Put the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard into a clean jam jar, screw the lid on and then shake vigorously to combine.
Put the corn, zucchini, capsicum and rocket into a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
