Hi Things That Sparkle Readers!  I am Natalie from

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!

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

1 lemon, juiced

4 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 Teaspoon Paprika

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!
