Arugula and Fresh Corn Salad with Lemon and Cilantro Dressing

One of my favorite salads to make in the summer months…

  • 3 corn cobs, with the kernels scraped off the cobs

Place the arugula and corn kernels to a serving bowl.

Dressing

  • 2 medium lemons, washed, trimmed, cut in half and seeds taken out
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Place all the ingredients to a powerful blender. Blend till a smooth dressing is formed. Take out and dress the arugula and corn. Toss and serve.
