Easy Corn Salad Recipe

Ingredients

4  ears fresh corn
1-1/2  cups cooked rice, cooled
1  pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1  cup fresh arugula
1  small red onion, cut in thin wedges
1  jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
Tbsp. rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

1. Husk corn and remove silk with a stiff brush; rinse. Cook corn in boiling, lightly salted water for 3 minutes. Remove corn; let cool. Cut corn off the cob in planks. To cut planks, place an ear on its side on a cutting board. Holding the corn firmly with fingers away from the blade, cut off a side of the corn. Rotate and repeat until all sides are removed. Use a spatula to gently move planks to salad.
2. Combine cooked rice, tomatoes, arugula, onion and jalapeño pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; top with corn.
3. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serves 10 to 12.
