pan-charred corn, orzo & greens salad in white bowl with fork

When I start seeing fresh local corn at the farmers market, this pan-charred corn, orzo and arugula salad is the very first thing I make! It’s refreshing, satisfying, and has that sweet-savory craveability. The sweet is from the corn, which becomes sweeter from sautéing it until caramelized (browned). The savory is from everything else. The pepperiness from the greens and the citrus zing from the combination of lemon and lime juices make this extra mmm…emorable.

What am I eating right now? This herbed freekeh salad with avocado, pistachios and citrus vinaigrette. I’m absolutely hooked on it — it’s got so many bright flavors, contrasting textures, and yummy things going on. Another cool thing about it is that you can use this as a recipe template and make it hundreds of different ways so you can match the season or use up what you have on hand just by varying the grain and produce picks. But when in doubt, simply make this recipe as is … it’s awesome!
