This recipe is shared with us from Lauren K. Stein, author of Fresh Made Simple, a family-friendly illustrated cookbook. Arugula Corn Pear Salad is the ultimate way to enjoy late season local corn! If you don’t have pears on hand, I always substitute sliced apples! Keep the fennel and onion sliced super thin, load on the corn and goat cheese. Top it with a balsamic vinaigrette, if you like. I like to make this for my family because the kids may not eat “salad” but they are almost certain to eat all the components deconstructed on their plate and some goat cheese spread on crackers.
Thanks Lauren!
