Corn, Arugula & Tomato Salad

From EatingWell: Summer 2004

Fresh corn and tomatoes make an especially attractive and delicious summer salad. Sweet corn balances the peppery arugula and tart tomatoes.

READER'S COMMENT:

"Great salad! But too much oil (much more than necessary). I used 2 tablespoons and next time will use only 1. "
