ingredients
- 4 large ears of corn
- 2 cups of chopped arugula (about one bunch)
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
directions
- Cook the corn ears, in their husks, either on the grill for a smokey flavor, or by steaming in a large covered stock pot with an inch of boiling water at the bottom of the pot, for 12-15 minutes.
- Let the corn cool (can run under cold water to speed up the cooling), remove the husks and silk. I recommend cooking the corn in the husks for the added flavor that the husks impart.
- If you boil or steam the corn ears after you've already husked them, or if you cook them in the microwave, reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.To remove the kernels from the cobs, stand a corn cob vertically over a large, shallow bowl.
- Use a sharp knife to make long, downward strokes, removing the kernels from the cob, as you work your way around the cob. Note: it may help to work over a low table, to be in a better ergonomic position to cut the cobs this way.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the corn, chopped arugula, bacon, and onions. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and cumin.
- Mix dressing into salad just before serving. Taste and add more vinegar if necessary to balance the sweetness of the corn.

Just made it a second time; this time doubled the dressing, increased the bacon by half, and added ripe avocado. So delicious and so easy!! I'm going to make it again tonight because it was that good. I can't wait until fresh corn is in season; it'll be that much better! Thank you for posting this! -
Soooooooo Delicious!! I think that bacon and arugula should get married and have babies because they are made for each other!!! I love all the depth of flavor that you get with this salad and it's so simple to make!!! I used canned corn, , it was easier and tasted great too!! I would love to use some fresh corn, grilled too, that will be fabulous because I am definitely making this salad again and again!!! Thanks for posting!!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
