Micro-green salad with fresh pear, baby corn and caramelised popcorn

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 4 cobs sweet corn, cooked
  • 2 x 70 g packs green salad with micro leaves
  • 4 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 1 x 275 g punnet baby corn, halved
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Caramel Cluster popcorn, for scattering

Method

Hold the cooked cobs firmly in one hand and place, base down, on a chopping board.

Carefully run the blade of a sharp knife down the side of each cob to remove the kernels, keeping the rows intact.

Arrange the micro greens on a platter. Layer with slices of pear, baby corn and sweet-corn rows.

Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, and season.

Serve scattered with popcorn clusters.

Cook's note: to make caramalised popcorn, follow the instructions in our recipe for a Caramelised popcorn wreath

TASTE’s take:

Remove the fibrous outer leaves and silken threads of the corncob to reveal the sweet golden nuggets within.
