Recipe Description

Delicious summer salad with grilled corn, grilled zucchini and fresh herbs.

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat a grill over medium heat.

2. Brush the zucchini and corn cobs with ½ tablespoon of the olive oil. Grill for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly charred and soft.

3. Set aside to cool.

4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, tomatoes, green chillies, herbs, lime juice, and cheese in a large mixing bowl.

5. Chop the zucchini into 1/2” half moons, cut the corn kernels off the cobs, and add both to the bowl.

6. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Stir to blend, and serve warm or at room temperature.

* Salad tastes best if served when prepared (flavours intensify too much if refrigerated).

Ingredients

1 whole Medium Zucchini, Halved Lengthwise
2 ears Corn, Shucked
2-½ Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
¾ pounds Assorted Ripe Tomatoes, Chopped Into 1" Chunks
1 can Roasted Green Chilies, Finely Chopped
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Basil

Juice Of 1 Large Lime (about 2 Tablespoons)

Wow does this sound good! I’m definitely trying this. I love feta on ANYTHING. Yummmmm!

I tried this without the green chiles and (accidentally) without the lime juice. I still liked it! I think some great olives or a little red onion would also be good additions.

This was a great way to use up some garden veggies and herbs! It had a nice variety of flavors as every bite was a mixture of sweet and savory. Loved it and would make it again!

I made this salad for a summer bbq, and boy! everyone loved it…
I did make a tiny change to the recipe, instead of using a can of Green Chilies, i used a fresh jalapeno amd also added a bit of cilantro. This made the salad taste a lot more fresh…overall a great recipe! i would definetly recomend it

I made this salad a couple of times over the summer. I was trying to find new ways to use all of the zucchini I had. I really loved it. One tip though, if you use lowfat or fat free feta you shouldn’t add any salt, it’s just too much. I feel like lowfat/no fat cheese is always saltier than the regular.
