This salad would be great for a potluck or any other gathering because it presents itself so well! Assemble all the salad components and keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to toss and serve. I didn’t have any nuts on hand, but toasted almonds, walnuts or pecans would complement the flavors well and add a little extra crunch. We served ours with seafood since we were at the beach, but this would be great with any other protein like grilled chicken or fish.

Enjoy 🙂

Ingredients

Salad

• 10 ounces arugula or other salad greens
• 4-5 ounces 120g or so goat cheese, crumbled

• 3 Tablespoons 25g toasted and chopped nuts, optional

Dressing

• ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1-2 teaspoons honey
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and boil until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then carefully slice off the kernels.
• Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jar. If using a jar, shake to combine thoroughly. If using a bowl, mix thoroughly until the mustard binds everything together.
