Inspired by Jamie Oliver’s corn salad, I was inspired to make a corn salad that is buttery, creamy and full of textures. Dressed with my creamy cashew lemon dressing, you won’t be able to stop at one bite. Guaranteed!

This salad tastes buttery but as always, I love to give you, my readers; more ideas to make it even more delicious if it is possible! 🙂

Some suggestions to add that oomph factor to this already amazingly delightful salad:

Sauté the corn in butter and add a little Italian seasoning or Mexican seasoning before putting it in the salad.
Use differently flavoured popcorn like cheese popcorn, caramelized popcorn or even chili popcorn for that kick!
And if you are making popcorn the traditional way in pot, toss it with some mix of sugar+orange zest or Indian style with chaat masala.
Use assorted greens to make it healthier and vibrant.

Make it for your lunch or as a side a main dish, it is surely to attract everyone to at least trying a bite. It is also a perfect salad to make it for the party as all preparation can be made ahead (except the popcorn) leaving assembly at the last minute. The assembly of this salad does not take more than 3 minutes so you can take this gorgeous plate to your guests in no time and enjoy their company with ease.

Fresh corn, baby corn and pop corn over a bed of lettuce with a dressing of creamy cashew lemon dressing is an ultimate crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh corn kernels
¼ cup baby corn sliced
½ cup butter popcorn
1 bunch lettuce
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup cashew lemon dressing

Method

In a pan, heat ½ tbsp of butter till it melts.
Add fresh corn kernels and saute it until it becomes soft.
Season with salt + pepper and remove from the pan and cool.
In the same pan, heat the remaining butter and sauté baby corn until tender.
Season with salt + pepper and remove from the pan and cool.
In the salad bowl or a plate, tear lettuce and make a base.
Sprinkle corn kernels, baby corn and popcorn.
Drizzle with the cashew lemon dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

You can use the frozen corn in lieu of fresh corn. Pour some boiling water over the frozen corn and let it sit for 10 minutes. Use it in the recipe as directed.
Pop the popcorn bag in the microwave when you are ready to serve as it can lose its crunch with time making it chewy.
You can increase the quantity of the butter to make it more buttery!
You can increase or decrease the quantity of the dressing as per your preference.
