Warm Corn Chowder Salad with Bacon and Cider Vinegar

1. 4 thick slices of bacon (4 ounces), cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick
2. 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
3. 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4. 8 ears of corn, kernels removed
5. 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
6. 1/4 cup cider vinegar
7. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8. Salt
1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderately low heat, stirring a few times, until it is crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels and let drain.
2. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the potatoes and cook over moderate heat until they start to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes longer, until almost tender. Add the diced red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
3. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and stir in the onion, cider vinegar, crushed red pepper and bacon. Season the salad with salt and serve.

I just served this today to vegetarian friends. I subbed a handful of shitake mushrooms for the bacon, and stirred in a tablespoon of white miso. Everyone took seconds while groaning that they were stuffed. We had this with grilled swordfish and lemon caper sauce.

Roasted Corn, Black Bean & Mango Salad

From EatingWell:

This simple, fresh-tasting salad adds delicious variety to grilled foods, such as salmon, halibut, chicken or pork. Browning the corn in a skillet gives it a nutty, caramelized flavor that contrasts with the sweetness of the mango.

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, (from 3 ears)

1 15-ounce or 19-ounce can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 small canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, (see Ingredient Note), drained and chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt

Ingredient Note: Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos with a fiery taste that are canned in adobo sauce. Look for them in the Hispanic section of large supermarkets and in specialty stores.
