Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4-8 slices thick-cut bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 ears corn kernels removed
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes quartered
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 10 leaves basil chopped
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
- In a large bowl, toss the corn with the tomatoes, arugula, and basil. Add salt and pepper and stir. Add the bacon and toss once more to combine. Taste and adjust the salt, if needed. Enjoy!
Notes
Alternatively, you can cook the bacon in the oven. This is my preference whenever possible. It takes a few extra minutes, but requires zero hands-on effort and is far less messy too.
