Instructions
On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the corn with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the ears with salt and pepper and roast for about 25 minutes, turning a few times, until the kernels are browned; let cool.
Cut the kernels from the cobs and transfer to a bowl.
Spread the pumpkin seeds in a pie plate and bake for about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Transfer to a plate to cool.
Put 1/2 cup of the corn kernels in a blender.
Add the lime juice, sherry vinegar, sugar, hot sauce and cinnamon and puree. With the machine on, add the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil in a thin stream and blend until emulsified. Scrape the vinaigrette into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the remaining corn kernels with the arugula, avocados, red and yellow tomatoes and cucumbers.
Add the vinaigrette and toss well. Mound the salad on a large platter, scatter the pumpkin seeds and crumbled cheese on top and serve.
