Grilled Corn, Avocado and Arugula Salad

When corn starts popping up at the farmers markets it makes me so excited for summer. To me there is nothing better than grilled corn on the cob. This salad is perfect for a hot summer day and it hits all the deliciousness of a salad. Crunchy grilled corn, creamy avocado fan peppery arugula nothing better.
