1-1/2 cups Cooked rice, cooled

1 pint Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup Fresh arugula

1 Small red onion, cut in thin wedges

1 Jalape?o pepper, thinly sliced

2 tbsp. Rice vinegar or red wine vinegar

2 tbsp. Olive oil

Preparation

1. Husk corn and remove silk with a stiff brush; rinse. Cook corn in boiling, lightly salted water for 3 minutes. Remove corn; let cool. Cut corn off the cob in planks (see note).

2. Combine cooked rice, tomatoes, arugula, onion and jalape?o pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; top with corn.

3. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
