Description
This Watermelon Roasted Peach and Cobbed Corn Arugula Salad combines some of my favorite end of summer flavors in one nutritious salad! Arugula gets tossed with watermelon, roasted peaches, avocado, corn, red onion, and then topped with a simple lemon olive oil dressing.

Notes
** this salad is best if it’s enjoyed immediently as the dressing is already mixed in. If you prefer to have leftover salad, just serve the dressing on the side and skip that step.
