Summer is unofficially here… Grilling food is the main way to keep temperature cool indoors. Now just add the sun and salad side dishes. Last year, my sister made a delicious corn salad for our 4th of July picnic. This isn’t the same dish, but it did inspire mine…
Fresh Corn & Zucchini Salad
Ingredients:
6 ears of corn (some yellow and some white), 2 zucchini, 1/4 c. fresh parsley, 1 bunch green onions, 2 tsp. Dijon mustard, 2 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. hot sauce, 1/2 c. vinegar, 1/2 c. vegetable oil, fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper
Directions:
Cook corn and slice off ears. Peel and chop zucchini. Chop green onions and parsley. To make dressing, mix together mustard, sugar, cumin, hot sauce, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Mix ingredients together and keep chilled.
Next time I think I’ll add some red pepper to the mix.
What’s your favorite corn recipe?

Our local deli has a similar salad which I’ve always wanted to try. Maybe I’ll try your recipe soon.
Let me know how you like it!
I love a good corn salad made with corn at the height of the season. This one looks delicious and your idea of adding a splash of red, via red peppers, will make it even more visually appealing.
Thanks!
I Love the cooling color of your salad.
Thank you!
Raw corn and black bean salad with feta and basil galore. I’ll have to try adding the zucchini.
We’re nowhere near corn yet, but in another month…
That does sound good too! I have a watermelon, black bean and feta salad I make with mint.
Sounds yummy 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Super duper idea! This’ll be great for Daddy’s Day!
Let me know if you make it!
We had zucchini and corn for dinner! Except that it was a zucchini pie with corn on the side, but still! 🙂
Yum!
I love zuchinni and you definitely have a cool recipe 🙂
Thanks! I can’t wait to grow zucchini in my new garden this summer!
Nice recipe 🙂 I think that on a hot day, this would be a definite treat!
Thanks Samina!
