Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated Manchego cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonaise
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or more as needed)
- 1 tablespoon minced green onion
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
- 1 bunch spicy greens (such as arugula, dandelion or mustard, or a mixture)
- 2 tablespoons Marcona almonds
- 4-5 thin slices Serrano ham
Directions
| 1. | Combine Manchego, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, green onions, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and process until smooth and creamy, adding more buttermilk if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Cover and set aside. |
| 2. | Heat olive oil in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Cook corn until golden brown then remove from pan. Lower heat to medium and cook the Serrano ham slices until crisped…this will only take a few seconds per side. Cut ham into slivers. Toss corn with the fresh greens and and dressing (you won't need to use it all) and toss to coat well. Garnish salad with the crispy ham and almonds. Season with fresh ground black pepper if desired. |
