This creamy dressing gets its richness from pureed corn. It’s as tasty over greens as it is mixed into potato salad or macaroni salad. Look for golden corn niblets in the freezer aisle: They are less sweet than other varieties.

I added some water to blend all into a smooth dressing (I always eat “whole”, no straining necessary) Then, with a tsp maple syrup, it became a, not exciting but passable salad dressing.

This was bland and uninteresting.

Step one does produce an icy corn mash in my Vitamix blender. I just ignored the pressing and moved to step two which turned it into a beautiful sauce that I love on veggies. Leaving the complete corn kernels in to be practically liquified is a healthier option anyway since they contain fiber. I now have something low fat and tasty to put on my vegetables! Thank you!

Is the corn supposed to be thawed first?

Am I missing something here? I blended the frozen corn with 1/2 cup water and it’s just frozen slush.. no liquid can be pushed through a seive.. hey?

Has this been tried as a soup? It looks amazing!

I do not recommend this recipe. It has some intrigue, but I had to make so many modifications just to be edible that I eventually gave up on improving it once it was “good enough”.

Will it still taste ok without black salt? I don’t think I can get hold of any in time for when I want to make this. Thank you.

yes, it will be fine, just use regular table salt. Remember if you don’t use salt with Iodine your Thyroid will be in trouble. Thyroid needs Iodine to Thrive and be well.
