Who doesn’t love a quick and easy salad? Especially when it’s delicious AND healthy. BLT Corn Salad checks all the boxes!
I made this side dish for a small dinner gathering, and I found myself going back for more and more. It’s so refreshing that I didn’t even feel guilty about it.
My favorite way to cook bacon is in the oven. I preheat the oven to 350, line a sheet pan with tin foil, lay the slices of bacon in a single layer, and bake for 15-20 minutes (after about 8 minutes, drain off the grease and flip the bacon slices over).
Store BLT Corn Salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It will be good for 2-3 days.
Here’s what you need to make BLT Corn Salad…
- Bacon (I like thick-cut)
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Fresh arugula
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- Salt and pepper
