Arugula Corn Egg and a Bean Salad

Arugula Corn Egg and Bean Salad

This is mighty tasty if I must say. There are so many layers to this salad; from the pepperiness of the arugula, the roast flavor of the corn, the creaminess of the beans and egg, all cut through by the acidity of the dressing. This salad can be eaten as a side dish or as a main course. This recipe makes a real large batch. You will end up eating half of it before you serve it to anyone else.
