Zucchini Corn 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.

ZUCCHINI CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cilantro, and feta cheese.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. I also love to add few teaspoons of honey to bring out the sweetness of corn but it is totally optional.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and throughly toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Before serving, stir the salad and taste. Does it need more salt? More lime juice? Or maybe even more feta or cilantro.

Steps:

Right before serving, combine the zucchini with the rest of the ingredients; transfer them to a platter lined with lettuce and garnish with pitted olives.

ZUCCHINI, TOMATO, AND CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Toss zucchini strips with 1 teaspoon salt and let drain in a colander set over a bowl, covered and chilled, 1 hour.
• Gently squeeze handfuls of zucchini to remove excess water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Cook corn in a small saucepan of boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
• Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Add zucchini, corn, tomatoes, and basil and toss well.
