warm corn, tomato and arugula salad

Ingredients:

When corn and tomatoes reach their seasonal peak, combine them in this simple side dish, which cooks in just 5 minutes.

1 Tbs. olive oil, plus more for drizzling

3 Tbs. finely chopped shallot

2 cups fresh corn kernels

1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

4 oz. arugula

2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Fresh lemon juice for drizzling

Directions:

In a 10-inch fry pan over medium heat, warm the 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn and tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the arugula and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
