Tomato Peach Salad image

Light and refreshing summer salad! Ripe tomatoes and peaches are delicious on their own, but even better together in this colorful combination. I adapted a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine to have a bolder taste from earthy arugula and sweet corn off the cob. I can't get enough corn during the summer, and leave it uncooked for crunch, but cooked is fine if you prefer. The sweetness of the fruits balance the bitterness of the arugula, though if you still don't like the bite, the salad is plenty good without!
