Ingredients
-
2 to 3
ears sweet corn (I used red corn)
-
1
large bunch of asparagus
-
2 to 3 tablespoons
olive oil
-
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
-
3 to 4
scallions, thinly sliced
-
1 pinch
sea salt
-
1 pinch
freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
Cut the kernels off of the ears of corn and place them in a bowl. Use a peeler to remove the outer layer of skin from the asparagus, then, holding the asparagus firmly on your work surface, peel away thin layers of it until you reach the white inner stalk. Next, flip it over and do the other side. Place all of the peeled asparagus layers in the bowl with the corn.
-
Toss the vegetables with the olive oil, lemon juice, scallions, salt, and pepper. Taste, adjust seasonings as necessary, and serve. This can be made ahead of time and kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
