Trim carrots and cut into narrow, short sticks. Finely slice sage or basil leaves so you end up with about 1/4 cup. Saute the corn for a few minutes until tender in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Combine carrots, corn, sage or basil, bell pepper and pepper flakes in a bowl.

For dressing, combine oil, vinegar, sugar, thyme, rosemary and pepper in a jar. Shake well. Toss beans with 2 tablespoons of dressing.

Spoon carrot salad onto dinner plates with bean salad alongside. Add a few greens to each plate and sprinkle with paprika and drizzle corn and greens with more dressing.
