Reviews
This Salad is a perfect example of fresh corn yum! I did NOT cook my corn. Just cut it off the cob and into bowl. I was making this for myself, so cut the ingredients in half and only added an amount of Arugula to my serving so as not to have it getting limp and soaked with dressing while refrigerated. My next day enjoyment of this salad was just as good if not better! The vinaigrette on this is the wow factor. I found the whole toasted almonds unnecessary. Munch on them while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
My husband made this and we may have done it a little different but as far as I know he followed the recipe the best he could and I must say, it was actually SUPER delicious! We finished the whole salad off ourselves as it was our main dish.
Surprisingly delicious!
It was so delicious. Loved all the flavors. I could of eaten just the corn and cumin. I didn’t have almonds so I used pine nuts instead.
Dressing is delicious and melds perfectly with all the flavors of this very filling salad.
