Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Corn salad comes in small "tufts" and these are often full of sand or earth.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Plunge the corn salad into a sink full of water that is barely lukewarm with a little vinegar added.

Swish the leaves round thoroughly and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

After this time, take the leaves out using a

spider...

Stage 4

...or simply use your hands.

Stage 5

You will see that this rinsing has washed out a lot of sand or earth.

If the corn salad is still not completely clean (you can still find sand on it), change the water and rinse a second time.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Trim off any roots that are still attached.

Stage 7

Finish by drying the corn salad in a salad spinner. It is then ready for use.

Keeping: A few hours in the fridge rpotected with plastic film.
