Grilled Zucchini & Corn Salad

Picture
One of my favorite things about Wisconsin summers is enjoying fresh zucchini. 

A good friend is keeping us supplied since I didn't get any planted this year. 

For a party I was hosting I just knew there had to be some of this amazing veggie so I turned to my grill and some other local veggies available at Growing Power!

FOR THE GRILL:
4 ears corn, shucked and soaked in sugar water overnight or longer 
    (I fill a container with water and sprinkle some sugar in and cover and set in the fridge for a couple days)
1 large zucchini, ends cut off and sliced the long way into 4-8 pieces depending on the thickness
1 large bell pepper, any color
1 serrano chili pepper

Grill the above veggies on medium heat until you see grill marks or blistered skin on the peppers.  I go for low fat so I grilled all naked.  For a richer salad, you can coat all the veggies in olive oil.
Allow all veggies to cool.  Cut corn off cobs, chop zucchini into 1/4" wide triangles and dice peppers.  Toss with drssing below.

FOR THE DRESSING:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
Whisk the above together.  Season with salt and pepper (I prefer celrey salt) here.

FINISH WITH:
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion (Red or whatever you have on hand, I used a nice local cippolini)
1/4 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/2 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Mix veggies with the dressing along with the feta, onions and cilantro.  Save a little cilantro to put on top for garnish.

While many people maintain them in their kitchens, they’re just as useful in the living-room or the patio. Given their compact size, they can be moved, so you can also relocate your own on the patio area when you have a couple of buddies over for a barbecue.

    is the smallest kitchen ever.  We used to watch those decorating shows that said they were doing small kitchens and then could see that 4 of my kitchens would fit in their "small kitchens".
    Regardless of size, the kitchen is busy cranking out good things.  Most is natural/organic but that doesn't mean it's always healthy!
