Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spread out hominy on a rimmed baking sheet and let dry 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Heat vegetable oil in skillet over high. Cook hominy, stirring carefully as some kernels may pop, until dried out and charred, 12–15 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Wipe out skillet.

    Step 3

    Whisk garlic, vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add olive oil.

    Step 4

    Place onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Cover and chill.

    Step 5

    Toss beets, chard, mustard greens, cilantro, and parsley in a large bowl. Drain and pat onion dry. Add onion, hominy, and dressing to salad and toss until greens are lightly coated; season with salt.

    Step 6

    Do Ahead: Hominy, dressing, onion, and salad can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Store hominy at room temperature; cover and chill dressing, onion, and salad.
