Ingredients
For the Vegetables
- 2 medium-sized zucchini cut into ½-inch thick half-moons
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 2½ cups corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or any other dried herbs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups arugula
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese you could also use bleu cheese or feta cheese
Instructions
- Prep the grill. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high, about 425˚F. Brush the grill grates with oil.
- Grill the zucchini. Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini slices and season them with salt and pepper. Grill the zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until tender and grill marks appear.
- Grill the tomatoes and corn. At the same time, grab a grill pan and combine the tomatoes and corn inside the pan; drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set the grill pan on the grill and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes and corn are charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Make the dressing. Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Finish and serve. To the dressing, add the zucchini, tomatoes, corn, and arugula; toss to coat until well combined. Top the zucchini salad with crumbled cheese and serve.
Notes
- Serving: You can serve the salad alongside your favorite mains as a side dish, or enjoy it on its own for a light meal. For a heartier meal, consider adding chopped grilled chicken, juicy shrimp, or diced salmon.
- Storage: You can store your zucchini salad in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 2 days.
