You will need 3 to 4 corn cobs to yield 2 cups of fresh kernels. If using frozen corn, be sure to thaw and drain it.

For a better orange salad recipe, we came up with these rules: for bold flavor, include lime juice in the dressing; allow the oranges to drain before tossing them with the other ingredients to eliminate excess juice; use just a small amount of greens (or no greens at all); and toss the salad very gently to prevent the greens from bruising and the orange pieces from falling apart.

Serve on toasted white bread or a baguette. If making salad in advance, refrigerate bacon separately.

To maximize the fresh citrus notes of the salad, we use the zest, juice, and pulp of the fruit. Canned hearts of palm can be found in the international section of most supermarkets.
