PASTA SALAD WITH CORN, BACON, AND BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook the bacon: Cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Put in a frying pan and heat on medium. Cook until the fat has rendered and the bacon is well browned. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Note: Do not pour rendered fat down your kitchen sink unless you really like your plumber. Pour it into a jar to use for another cooking purpose or discard.

TOMATO BACON CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a wok or large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring, until it is very crisp, and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour the bacon fat out from the skillet until about 2 tablespoons remain. Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the shallots to the bacon fat, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and chiles. Add the crispy bacon and fish sauce and remove from the heat. Then add the cilantro, lime juice and avocado. Gently toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, chilled or at room temperature.

CORN AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until slightly soft but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut corn kernels from the cobs; discard cobs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Cook potatoes, stirring occasionally, in the same skillet over medium heat until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and salt; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir corn kernels into potato mixture and cook until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Pour corn-potato mixture into a large bowl. Add bacon, red onion, cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes; toss to combine.
