Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad
Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad is the perfect side dish recipe, especially if you are already grilling steaks or chicken for dinner.
Everything just goes onto the grill and while the meat rests, make the salad and it’s all done at the same time.
You can make this dish any time of the year, but my favorite time to make it is late summer when my garden has lots of fresh veggies!
That was exactly my game plan, I grilled a flank steak at the same time as the veggies.
Bonus was that the salad was extra good when eaten with the steak!
How to make Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad
I cut two medium size zucchini lengthwise and shucked some corn.
Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
They go onto a grill over medium heat.
The corn goes first, for about 5 minutes because it takes longer to cook than the zucchini.
About 5 minutes in add the zucchini.
Rotate the corn and flip the zucchini about halfway through.
I have one of those corn scrapers that makes it super easy to cut corn off the cob.
If you don’t have one just use a knife.
So the corn comes off the cob and the zucchini get diced.
Into a bowl they go along with some olive oil, lime juice, sugar, and crumbled feta cheese.
Mix it all together and taste for seasoning.
I added a little kosher salt and pepper to mine.
Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad is the perfect summer side dish!
