Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For tomatoes
6 scallions, white and pale green parts separated from dark green parts and both finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (3 to 4 cups)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For fritters
2/3 cup corn (cut from 2 ears)
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
For arugula
2 1/2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb arugula, coarse stems discarded (8 cups)

Steps:

  • Prepare tomatoes:
  • Cook white and pale green scallions in oil in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until tomatoes begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in scallion greens. Transfer to a bowl and cool to warm.
  • Make fritters while tomatoes cool:
  • Cook corn in a small saucepan of boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a sieve, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk together milk and egg in another bowl, then add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Stir in corn.
  • Heat oil in cleaned skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter per fritter into skillet and fry, turning over once, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer with a spatula to paper towels to drain.
  • Prepare arugula:
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add arugula and toss to coat.

Provided by Cooking Channel

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into lardons (1/2-inch chubby pieces)
3 ears corn, shucked
2 pounds mixed colors and sizes heirloom tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 healthy-size sprig fresh thyme
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 cups baby arugula or other baby lettuces (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until rendered and just crisp and not black, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Reserve some of the bacon fat.
  • Brush the corn lightly with the bacon fat and put on a baking sheet. Roast the corn, turning once or twice, until the some of the kernels get a little burnished, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool. (Alternatively, the corn can be cooked on a hot grill for about 10 minutes).
  • Dice and chunk up the tomatoes - it's kind of great if they aren't all uniform. Put the pieces into a big salad bowl and season with salt and pepper. Don't be shy - tomatoes come alive with salt and pepper. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprigs right into the tomatoes. Toss together lightly and set aside to get juicy.
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper in bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing.
  • Slice the kernels off the cobs add to the salad with the bacon. Add the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss lightly to combine. Serve.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 C plus 1 t olive oil
1/4 C balsamic vinegar
3 T chopped fresh basil
2 plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, diced
2 lg garlic cloves, minced
3/4 t fresh rosemary
2 ears corn, husked
4 oz. arugula
4 plum tomatoes quartered
1/4 C pecans, toasted
shaved parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk first 6 ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 2. Grill corn and cut kernels off cob. Place in large bowl. 3. Add arugula, tomatoes, and pecans to bowl with corn. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Garnish with shaved parmesan.

Tips for the Perfect Arugula, Tomato, and Corn Salad:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes, crisp arugula, and sweet corn. Fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or mint can also add a refreshing touch.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Add some crunch: Toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds, can add a delightful textural contrast to the salad.
  • Balance the flavors: Arugula's peppery taste pairs well with sweet corn and tomatoes. To further balance the flavors, consider adding a touch of salty cheese like feta or Parmesan, or a hint of sweetness from dried cranberries or raisins.
  • Serve immediately: Arugula tends to wilt quickly, so it's best to serve the salad as soon as it's made. If you need to make it ahead of time, toss the dressing with the other ingredients just before serving.

Conclusion:

Arugula, tomato, and corn salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish that showcases the best of summer produce. With its simple yet flavorful ingredients and customizable variations, it's a versatile salad that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a side dish at a barbecue, or even as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
