Shelled fresh cranberry beans have a meaty texture and a nutty flavor; corn cut from the cob adds sweetness. Okra gets a cornmeal coating that makes it almost croutonlike. Everything is tossed with lamb's quarter (an edible weed), baby spinach, basil leaves, and a mustard vinaigrette. Ingredients For the Vinaigrette 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper For the Salad 8 ounces fresh cranberry beans, shelled (1 cup) Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 ears corn, shucked and halved Vegetable oil, for frying ¼ cup cornmeal ¼ cup all-purpose flour 4 ounces small okra, stems removed, halved lengthwise and quartered if large 1 ounce (2 ½ cups) lamb's quarter 1 ounce (2 cups) baby spinach ½ cup fresh basil, leaves torn if large Directions Make the vinaigrette: Whisk togethervinegar and mustard in a mediumbowl.
