There aren’t many things I savor more than late summer’s sweet corn and vine-ripened tomatoes. Use the most flavorful tomatoes you can find and only make this salad when you have corn that is fresh and amazing.
Recipe Yield:
4 servings
Recipe Ingredient Details:
Red wine vinaigrette
1 medium clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salad
5 ounces (about 6 packed cups) baby arugula leaves
1⁄2 small bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped (about 1⁄2 cup)
1 large ear fresh corn, shucked, silk removed, and kernels cut off cob
1 pint rainbow cherry tomatoes, halved; or 3 medium heirloom tomatoes (assorted colors preferred), cut into bite-size pieces
Recipe Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients, plus salt and pepper to taste.
Place arugula and half of the chopped parsley in a large bowl and toss with half of the vinaigrette. Transfer dressed salad to a platter.
Using the same large bowl, add corn kernels with remaining parsley, and toss with half of remaining dressing and a small pinch of salt.
Place corn mixture in the center of arugula on the platter. Arrange tomatoes around corn, and then drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
