Receta Summer Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad
I still love nothing better than fresh vegetables from the garden. It is wonderful when you can go out to your garden and just grab the ingredients you need and put them all together for a fresh summer salad. There is ultimately no end to the combinations you can come up with depending on what you have in your garden.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 cobs of fresh corn
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 cups grape tomatoes – halved
- 1 small sweet onion – diced
- 1 green pepper – diced
- 1 red pepper – diced
- 6 strips bacon – cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, I like the tang)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (goat cheese works great too)
Grill the corn till slightly charred on all sides. Slice the zucchini length wise in 1/2 inch strips. Grill till just grill marked, don’t over grill or you’ll have mush.
After corn and zucchini both cool, cut the corn off the cobs and dice the zucchini into 1/2 inch squares and place both in a large bowl.
Add the all remaining ingredients except for the cheese and toss well to mix and coat with oil.
Refrigerate for at least an hour, then add the crumbled feta cheese and serve.
