ARUGULA-CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the cilantro-lime dressing: In a cruet, shake together the lime juice, cilantro, grapeseed oil, sour cream and some salt and pepper until creamy. Set aside until ready to serve the salad.
• For the arugula-corn salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse under cold water to cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs.
• Combine the arugula, bell peppers, grape tomatoes and corn kernels in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat.

WILD ROCKET (ARUGULA) AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• Toss arugula and cilantro together in a large salad bowl. Drizzle arugula mixture with lemon juice, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and black pepper; toss salad again. If desired, add more lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle salad with Parmesan cheese shavings and toss again to serve.

CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
• When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
