Warm Corn, Tomato and Arugula Salad

When corn and tomatoes reach their seasonal peak, combine them in this simple side dish, which cooks in just 5 minutes. It’s a great accompaniment to our filets mignons and fingerling potatoes with pesto.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs. olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 3 Tbs. finely chopped shallot
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz. arugula
  • 2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice for drizzling

Directions:

In a 10-inch fry pan over medium heat, warm the 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn and tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the arugula and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
