Roasted Corn Zucchini Salad Recipes

ROASTED CORN ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a large grill pan or use a grill. Brush the corn with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning, until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add zucchini, dried oregano, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally until zucchini is tender and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
• Take the pan off the heat and stir in the juice of one lime. Let sit for a minute.
• Working in a large bowl with an inverted ramekin, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cobs in sections. Remove ramekin and transfer everything from the pan into the bowl. Toss to combine, add basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with a few basil leaves.

CORN AND SQUASH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Place the corn, squash and zucchini in a large bowl.
• To make the dressing, add the olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, chili powder, black pepper, lime zest and juice and garlic to a mixing bowl or small mason jar. Stir or secure the lid and shake to combine. Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat completely.
• Grill the vegetables, turning as needed, until really nice grill marks begin to form, about 5 minutes for the squash and 7 minutes for the corn in total. Remove to a baking sheet and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Arrange the slices of tomatoes around the edge of a large cutting board or platter and season with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Place the grilled vegetables around the platter thoughtfully, making sure to leave some of the tomato peeking through. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and shower with the queso fresco and cilantro.

ROASTED CORN AND VEGETABLE SALAD
