Instructions

Step 1

Place a sheet tray near your stove. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the polenta and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, whisking vigorously, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the polenta has formed one smooth mass. Stir in the butter and then pour the polenta onto the sheet tray. Use a spatula to smooth the polenta into a 10- to 12-inch circle. Set the polenta aside to solidify while you make the salad.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt. Fold in the watercress, corn, beans, mozzarella. Once the polenta has solidified, (this should take 10 to 15 minutes), serve the salad on top of the polenta or cut into wedges and serve the salad on top.
