¼ cup blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

Arugula Salad

In a large bowl, add the washed fresh arugula.
For the corn, either drain canned corn or defrost frozen corn. See Note 1. Add the corn to the arugula.
Slice the tomatoes in half or cube, depending on their size. Add the tomatoes to the salad greens.
Mix in the blue cheese crumbles.

Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Toss the vinaigrette with the salad green mixture. Ready to serve.

Notes

Note 1: Leftover roasted corn on the cob or grilled corn can be used.

Variations:

To make a meal, add a protein such as poached shrimp, oven-baked chicken, or air fryer crispy pork.
Any of your favorite cheeses can be added such as feta, Gouda, mozzarella, or fontina.
Add a zing from any of your favorite onions such as red or green. Scallions or shallots work too.
Try some of my other favorite vinaigrettes such as Champagne Vinaigrette, Maple Cider Vinaigrette, or for a spicy dressing, Poblano Dressing
