Questions

Is Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad comes from 1 tsp red chili, minced. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the chili, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Does Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad contain peanuts?

Yes: 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is peanuts. Where the peanuts are a garnish, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds give the same crunch. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 220 calories, with 6 g protein, 24 g carbohydrate and 13 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 310 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How do I store and reheat Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad?

Water seeps out of the cucumber as the salad sits, so keep the dressing apart and toss Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. Store the peanuts at room temperature so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Sweet Corn and Peanut Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the corn drops from 3 cups to 1.5 cups; doubled, it is 6 cups. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
