This salad combines the peppery bite of arugula, the sweet crunch of corn, the smoky savoriness of bacon, and a tangy dressing to create a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

With variations ranging from a classic recipe to a Mexican-inspired version, there's a perfect salad for every palate. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the grill, and get ready to indulge in a delightful summer treat.

**Variations:**

* **Classic Arugula Corn Salad with Bacon:** This timeless recipe features a simple combination of arugula, corn, bacon, red onion, and a tangy dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

* **Mexican Arugula Corn Salad with Bacon:** This south-of-the-border twist on the classic salad incorporates black beans, roasted corn, avocado, and a flavorful dressing made with lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder.

* **Grilled Arugula Corn Salad with Bacon:** Elevate your salad by grilling the corn and bacon for a smoky and charred flavor that adds an extra layer of depth and complexity.

**Tips:**

* For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients. Look for arugula with bright green leaves and corn that is plump and sweet.

* Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked. This will help it retain its flavor and texture in the salad.

* Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the overall taste of the salad.

* Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the dressing.

* Serve the salad immediately after making it. This will prevent the arugula from wilting and the corn from losing its crunch.

Categories     Entree

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 - 3 oz. baby arugula
4 ears of corn, shucked (about 3 cups) *see notes
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 lemon, juice of
1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt + pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Prep corn: Remove the husks and stringy fibers from the corn cut/slice the corn off the cob. See this, 3 Mess Free Ways to get Corn of the Cobb, for a quick tutorial. Prep the bell pepper and onion.
  • Assemble: In a large mixing bowl, place the arugula, corn, bell pepper and onion. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and salt & pepper. Mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning adding more lemon juice or salt & pepper as needed.
  • Serve: Enjoy right away, or let the salad set for about 10 minutes (you can also chill it if you like). The arugula will soften and slightly wilt during that time making the salad look more proportioned and not so arugula heavy (it makes it a little easier to eat).

Bacon, Arugula, Tomato and Roasted Corn Salad image

Provided by Cooking Channel

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into lardons (1/2-inch chubby pieces)
3 ears corn, shucked
2 pounds mixed colors and sizes heirloom tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 healthy-size sprig fresh thyme
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 cups baby arugula or other baby lettuces (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until rendered and just crisp and not black, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Reserve some of the bacon fat.
  • Brush the corn lightly with the bacon fat and put on a baking sheet. Roast the corn, turning once or twice, until the some of the kernels get a little burnished, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool. (Alternatively, the corn can be cooked on a hot grill for about 10 minutes).
  • Dice and chunk up the tomatoes - it's kind of great if they aren't all uniform. Put the pieces into a big salad bowl and season with salt and pepper. Don't be shy - tomatoes come alive with salt and pepper. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprigs right into the tomatoes. Toss together lightly and set aside to get juicy.
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper in bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing.
  • Slice the kernels off the cobs add to the salad with the bacon. Add the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss lightly to combine. Serve.

ARUGULA, CORN AND HERB SALAD



Arugula, Corn and Herb Salad image

Corn, lightly steamed and cut off the cob, is terrific in salads. It goes very nicely with arugula, the sweet corn providing a beautiful contrast to the pungent salad green. Although we don't think of corn as a nutritional powerhouse, it's a good source of several nutrients, including thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. A cup of corn supplies 19 percent of the recommended daily dose of folate, and about a quarter of the daily value for thiamin.

Time 15m

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, puréed (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

ARUGULA CORN SALAD WITH BACON RECIPE



Arugula Corn Salad With Bacon Recipe image

Make and share this Arugula Corn Salad With Bacon Recipe recipe from Food.com.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Corn

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.

CORN SALAD WITH ARUGULA



Corn Salad with Arugula image

This is a wonderful way to use canned corn in a crowd-pleasing yet sophisticated salad. Be sure to use the soft goat cheese that comes in a log or pyramid. That way, you can slice it and your guests can choose as much as they want. Another tip is to mix the corn, onion, and dressing beforehand in a plastic container and give it a quick shake before assembling your salad. This makes it perfect for potlucks!

Tips:

  • For best flavor, use fresh, young arugula. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
  • Sear the bacon until crispy and then drain it on paper towels. This will help to remove excess grease.
  • Use a ripe, juicy tomato. Dice it into small pieces so that it evenly distributes throughout the salad.
  • Choose a sweet corn variety. Fresh, grilled corn is best, but you can also use canned or frozen corn in a pinch.
  • If you don't have any red onion, you can use a yellow or white onion instead.
  • Use a good-quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap vinegar will have a harsh flavor that will overpower the other ingredients.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the salad immediately. The arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This arugula corn salad with bacon is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
