Corn, Beets, Arugula

Boil or roast beets, but toss with cooked corn, arugula, olive oil, sherry vinegar and chopped shallots.

Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula, Mint

Cook whole grape tomatoes in olive oil over high heat until they brown lightly, sprinkling with curry powder. Cool a bit, then toss with chopped arugula, loads of chopped mint and lime juice.

Crab and Corn Salad

Mix crab meat with pan-roasted corn, chopped avocado, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice and perhaps a bit of cilantro and crumbled ancho chili.

Possible additions: boiled potatoes, arugula 

Arugula Salad with Pasta

Mix lots of arugula with somewhat less cold whole wheat penne, lemon zest, olive oil and Parmesan. The idea is an arugula salad with pasta, not a pasta salad with arugula.

Add cherry tomatoes and/or prosciutto if you'd like.
