  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color you prefer)
  • ½ medium red onion, finely chopped
Dressing and Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat Your Grill: Set the grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for direct grilling.
  2. Prep Your Veggies: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices, corn, diced bell pepper, and chopped onion with olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
Grilling
  1. Grill the Veggies: Place the vegetable mixture on the grill, either in a grill basket or directly on aluminum foil. Grill for about 8-10 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and has nice grill marks, stirring occasionally.
Serving

Notes

This salad can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently to maintain texture. Consider adding avocado for a creamy twist.
