I don’t know about you, but as soon as the weather gets warm, all I want to eat are salads. Even if elements of the salad are warm or hot (and some of the best ones are like this) salads still just feel like warm-weather food to me.

This salad is inspired by the farm stands I used to pass on the back roads of farm country Pennsylvania - the ones selling fresh ears of corn, bursting ripe summer tomatoes and fresh herbs and greens.

I have yet to encounter farm fresh produce like that where I live now, but to be fair I don’t do that much back roads driving anymore. I need to add that to my summer bucket list this year, now that it’s safer to go out into the world again.

To Make Farm Stand Salad

Preheat oven to 400.
On a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment, place the quartered potatoes and drizzle them with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove sheet from the oven, add the trimmed snap peas, and replace sheet in the oven for another 10 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, either trim the kernels of corn from the cobs or measure out 1 cup of canned or frozen corn, and toast it in a skillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil until browned.p
Place half the arugula into two bowls, and top with the potatoes, peas, corn, onions and tomatoes, and then drizzle with the Basil Vinaigrette.

To Make Basil Vinaigrette

In the bowl of a food processor, add all of the ingredients except for water and blend until smooth. Add the water a teaspoon at a time if needed to thin the dressing out. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
