Arugula, Peach, Radish & Corn Salad

Summer produce is still plentiful, even as we head towards September. There are lots of healthy, plant-based meal choices to be created with ingredients like bell peppers, fresh herbs, zucchini, tomatoes, and peaches. And this super corn salad includes lots of them!

A sweet, crunchy, savory, peppery salad base pairs perfectly with a cumin-spiked zesty dressing.
