A simple corn salad recipe made with freshly cooked corn kernels, onion and other salad vegetables with an interesting homemade salad dressing. As we all know, a salad made of fresh green vegetables or fruits is the healthiest food choice one can make. Most of the veg salads have raw vegetables, boiled legumes or whole grains along with edible seeds and nuts.
Ingredients1 cup corn kernels (2 fresh corns)
1 onion
1 tomato
1 carrot
For salad dressing:1 tsp oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper powder
¼ tsp chilli powder
Method* Remove the outer covers of the fresh corn layer by layer.
* Using a strong and large knife, just shave off the kernels from top to bottom like this. Please refer to the video for better understanding.
* Do not remove the kernels too deep from their roots as the roots may be too hard to boil.
* Collect all the grains in the same way and boil and you can use this in different ways like salads, gravies, stir-fries and chat recipes.
* Add a cup of water and pressure cook the corn for one whistle.
* Release pressure and drain the excess water if any.
* In a small cup, add a tsp of oil preferably olive oil.
* Add lemon juice with oil. Also add salt, pepper powder and chilli powder.
* Mix everything and your salad dressing is ready.
* Take cooked corn in a large mixing bowl.
* You can add the salad dressing now and mix well with the warm corn. This is just the masala corn we get in chat stalls.
* To make a salad, add onion and tomato pieces.
* Also, add grated carrot and green leaves like fresh spinach or mint if you wish.
* Combine them all and serve the salad as breakfast or starter before a meal. It is a healthy snack option too.
