For the Arugula Salad:
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces baby arugula leaves
Preparation
Bring a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the edamame; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked edamame to a sieve and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain edamame well and pat dry.
Place half the edamame in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining edamame, grapefruit, half of the grapefruit juice walnuts, parsley, mint, thyme, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the oil, stirring until combined. Taste adding more grapefrut juice, salt and pepper if necessary.
Spread 1/4 cup of the mixture on each slice of bread cut in half and decorate each piece with a mint and parsley leaf. Serve immediately.
For the Salad:
In a medium bowl combine the vinegar with the salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil.
Add the arugula and toss well until lightly coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
Sweet corn and spicy chiles makes for a fun take on the classic elote, Mexican street corn on the cob. Go with yellow corn for a more vibrant colored dip.
