Ingredients
- 4 corn shucked, ears
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ½ cup red onion chopped
- 4 oz arugula baby
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add in corn and cook for 3 minutes. Then drain and quickly transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the corn from further cooking.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dressing in a small jar. Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk together.
- When the corn is cool, pat dry and cut the kernels off the cob by carefully cutting close to the cob.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the baby arugula, cooled corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Pour the dressing on top and gently toss to combine. Make sure to leave some large pieces of corn.
- Let the salad sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours to develop flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
- Serve cold or at room temperature; enjoy!
Notes
- Highly recommend using fresh corn off the cobb; 4 - 5 cups of defrosted frozen corn would work.
- Can substitute white wine vinegar with red wine vinegar.
- TO STORE: in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 - 3 days. Do not freeze.
- Optional add-ins: avocado, chickpeas, beans, grilled chicken, feta cheese, goat cheese, and bell pepper.
