I love the combination of corn and arugula in this salad. The corn is sweet and juicy, and the arugula is peppery and bitter. The two flavors balance each other out perfectly.

I'm not usually a big fan of corn salads, but this one changed my mind! The arugula and red onion added a nice peppery bite, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I'll be adding this to my regular summer rotation.
