Corn Asparagus Salad

You know, the Lady and Sons, yeah

But you know what it should be, guys? It should be the Lady and Sons plus one

Well, today it is. Yes, it is. And look at this big boy

So you're doing some of the dishes that we have on special

Yes, ma'am. At the Lady and Sons, and they better be good

They're delicious. I know they are. I know they are. So you've been up here silking and husking corn

Paula Deen, this is a new item we put on the menu that I make at my home very often

There's a corn asparagus salad. Sounds yummy. We're going to use six ears of fresh yellow corn

Sounds delicious. We're going to clean those real good and boil them for about two or three minutes, and then give them an ice bath

I'm going to chop this onion up really finely for you. I'm going to do one small purple onion. Awesome

Let me tell y'all how he started. Oh, no. Oh, on our team

Well, he was working right next door to us at this other restaurant. Your reputation in Savannah was one of the top servers. Right

We saw his work ethic, you know? We saw a lot about what kind of guy he was. Dustin is now the GM

You know I so proud of you son You just like one of my children Well I feel like family When you come to the Lady and Sons you might not see Jamie and Bobby and you might not

see me, but there's a very good chance you'll see this tall, handsome young man

I'm so proud of the man that he grew into. So proud of you

A lot to do with y'all and y'all's hard work. I learned a lot from y'all. You're just like another, taller brother

This is a big man, y'all. I'm 6'4", so... Exactly. So that tells you everything you need to know about Dustin

Oh, my goodness. So you've got 8 to 12 ears of corn

boiling for how long? About two minutes. We're going to give the ice bath

Okay. Then we're going to throw in two bundles of asparagus. All right, so we got this show going on

Bobby, why don't you move down here, son? Because Dustin's going to need elbow room

Well, then I may need to leave the house. He's going to be cutting the corn off and finishing the asparagus

Why don't you make the salad dressing for the corn and asparagus salad

While Dustin blanches the corn and gets the asparagus started, I'm going to work on the crust for our key lime pie

And just graham cracker crumbs brown sugar and butter So you guys continue on and I going to be mixing that up right down here Got it All right this is really really simple Like so much that we do

Just going to start with a half cup of sugar, one cup of seasoned red wine vinegar

and then I'm going to just season it with a little salt and pepper to taste

Now we're going to take the corn off the cob. Just cut it straight down

And after we do that, we'll mix it together in the bowl. It'll break up nice

Mama, what you doing? I am pouring this half a cup of melted butter

over two cups of graham cracker crumbs, and about a fourth of a cup of packed brown sugar

It's just your typical graham cracker crust, but instead of using white sugar, I'm using brown sugar

Mm-hmm. I think I hit the salt and pepper right on, too. Yeah. And it turned out to be a little less probably than a teaspoon of each

So we've got a couple of different things going on here in the kitchen, y'all

Later on. we're going to share with you a recipe that was inspired by the Lady and Sons

We serve a fabulous key lime pie, and that's what this crust is for

People love it. But we're going to make a key lime ice cream pie

Oh, yummy. Yes. Now I just packing the crust y into this spring pan So Dustin how about your asparagus Is that I think we done I gonna pull that out

right now and put it in an ice bath as well. Okie doke. So we'll stop cooking and give it a few

minutes to cool down, then we'll cut that up. It's just blanched. It's just blanched

yeah. It's gonna be nice and crisp. So I'm gonna slice that in about one-inch pieces

I'm gonna add that to the corn. All right. Okay, I've done just about all I can do to that simple sauce

Well, mine's ready too, son. Looks like you're ready to go. So let's put that in the oven for about eight minutes

Uh-huh, 350. And that's about what it's going to take us to get this. I'm going to wash my hands

I think we're ready to put this salad together. Just put the chopped onions and asparagus in with the corn

then top it off with a quarter of a cup of fresh chopped basil

I'm going to put this very simple little sauce on top, And we're just going to fold this so I don't tear everything up

It looks delicious, Dustin. Now, y'all don't be mad with us, though

If you come to the Lady and Sons and you say, I'd like some of that corn and asparagus salad, we don't have it

Because this is a special, right? Actually, we're adding this to the menu

You'll be able to get it now. Good. Every night. So that one

Do what you think. It's good. Mm. I love it. I love it
