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.
Tips:
- Use fresh, sweet corn. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and delicious.
- Cook the corn properly. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy, so be sure to cook it just until it is tender.
- Use high-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will add a nice smoky flavor to the salad.
- Don't skimp on the dressing. A good dressing will help to tie all of the flavors together and make the salad more enjoyable.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
