Skillet Corn and Edamame with Spinach and Bacon for #SundaySupper
Today is a very special day for #SundaySupper. We are celebrating our very first birthday! For one year, #SundaySupper has been inspiring families with home cooked meals every Sunday. Most Sundays, you will read my accolades about the #SundaySupper family and the camaraderie we share. The internet is a huge place, and I feel quite privileged to have found a very special group with whom I can break bread with and get to know through their weekly posts. I remember my very first #SundaySupper post. I joined in April 2012. The theme was Budget Friendly Meals and I made Baked Butternut Squash & Asparagus Risotto. I loved that recipe. And I still bake my Risotto to this day. There were about 12 of us participating that day. Who knew that #SundaySupper would become such an integral part of my blogging experience. We get to learn about cuisine from all over the world. We learn about family history and traditions.
We are celebrating this week’s birthday event by choosing recipes from contributors that have inspired us during the past year. Honestly, it took me a few days to decide on a recipe from past #SundaySupper events. I finally decided on a very colourful and healthy salad that was part of the event titled “100 recipes every mom should have” by Katie Workman. This event was held in July so I was unable to participate since I was on vacation. But I felt like I didn’t skip a beat. Every recipe for our #SundaySupper events is listed on the Family Foodie website for ongoing inspiration.
I was inspired by a post from Sunithi, from Sue’s Nutrition Buzz. Her post was titled “Skillet Spinach Corn with Edamame and Bacon Bits“. Absolutely delightful! This recipe totally fit in with my current mindset which is to eat healthy! The ingredients are items that I generally have on hand and the combination of colours is just absolutely visually appealing. Sue always posts healthy recipes which I have always appreciated. I know you will love and appreciate this recipe from our #SundaySupper archives.
Skillet Corn Edamame with Spinach and Bacon
- 1 Cup Sweet Corn
- 1 Cup Edamame
- 2 Heaping handfuls of baby Spinach
- 2 scallions, chopped
- ½ Red Sweet Pepper, slice and diced
- ¼ Cup Cilantro, chopped
- ½ Cup Red and Orange Cherry Tomatoes
- 2 Slices Bacon
- ½ Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
- ½ Tsp Cumin
- In a serving dish, place spinach to cover most of the dish.
- In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to absorb the oil. Break up into bits.
- Drain the skillet of most of the oil, reserving about a tablespoon
- Add scallions to the hot skillet and sautee for about a minute
- Add corn, edamame, sweet pepper, salt & pepper and cumin to the skillet. Sautee for about 4 minutes
- Add cilantro and fold in gently
- Add tomatoes and fold in and allow to warm through for about a minute
- Using a large spoon, transfer the contents of the skillet to the bed of spinach.
- The heat from the salad will cause the spinach to soften nicely
- Top the salad with the bacon bits. Serve warm and enjoy
Skillet Corn Edamame with Spinach and Bacon – main ingredients
The main change to the original recipe – I did not add the spinach to the skillet. It will soften when the corn and edamame are placed on top. I also changed the title just a bit because of this change. I also did not use any oils. I just used some of the fat rendered from the bacon. It gave the salad such flavour!
I can see this salad being served with most meats as a side dish. I had it myself as a main dish and it certainly hit the spot. The salty bacon, the creamy edamame, the cilantro, the sweet corn, the tomatoes, sweet pepper..they all combined very well together.

What a gorgeous salad, Lyn! A feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. I often use a little bacon fat instead of oil and I love the flavor it adds. Delicious!

This is a fantabulous salad, and we love how you’ve put it on a bed of spinach. In fact, you could sub many different dark leafy greens for the spinach — think kale or chard or beet greens, for starters. It’s simple, nutritious, easy dishes like this that are going to keep us healthy! We’re going to feature this on our Facebook page and link here so people can see how you made it, and your lovely photography. If you wish, come LIKE us on Facebook for more recipes and tips on super healthy greens like kale, chard, beet, mustard, turnip, collard, escarole, dandelion and other green leafies. https://www.facebook.com/Cut.n.Clean.Greens
