Happy Fourth! I don’t know about where you are but here in Ohio it’s hotter than…er…
It’s hot. Too hot. Most cities around here have decided to cancel their fireworks because of the dry grass and shrubs around here.
So we’re preparing a COOL salad to take to a friend’s house tonight.
It’s fresh, zesty and has roasted corn!
It will go perfectly with what Janet’s preparing tonight – Honey Ginger Pork Tenderloins…a recipe I intend to share with you very soon!
The salad is full of cherry tomatoes, arugula (I can’t say that word, my daughter and I were giggling this afternoon as I was telling her about salad!) and fresh grilled, charred sweet corn.
The dressing is an olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato vinaigrette laced with fresh basil and rosemary.
Toss it together with toasted pine nuts, crispy prosciutto and flaked Parmesan cheese and you got yourself a great side to grilled pork, flank steak or fish!

I would eat this salad all on its own! It looks wonderful!
Thanks! I think it would be good with a bit of crusty croutons in it as well!
Glad you had heat on the 4th, but sorry it was too much! We were wrapped in jackets and blankets. Weird California weather!
I love arugula, best salad base in my opinion, and this looks great!
My daughter’s in San Fran and she’s longing for the heat. Trade ya!
Congratulations on making the foodbuzz Today’s Top 9!
Thanks!
That salad looks so refreshing! I has been hotter than, well, you know, here in Kansas, too. Can’t wait to try it!
What a great looking salad – especially that roasted corn!
