Alex gave me the freedom to write about whatever I wanted to, so if you are a regular reader of my blog you know I love to cook. Since Summer is coming to end I thought I would share one of my favorite late Summer Salads. It is just perfect for this time of the year! It is always a hit when we serve it at parties! I hope you love it as much as we do!
{CORN, ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD}
INGREDIENTS:
6 ears fresh corn, husked with silks removed
2 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 cups packed arugula
LEMON DRESSING:
1 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat grill or broiler to medium heat.
Rub corn with 2 tablespoons of canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil corn for 7 minutes or until ears are lightly browned. Remove from grill and allow to cool. Remove the kernels from the cob and place in a large mixing bowl along with the cherry tomatoes, red pepper, scallions, and arugula.
In a small bowl, prepare dressing by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
Toss the salad with the dressing and serve at room temperature and Enjoy!
