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.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I love this salad. The other ingredients really balance out the flavor.
