Highlighting in-season produce, this summer salad is made with fresh, grilled zucchini and corn, crumbled feta cheese, and a light, bright lemon-olive oil dressing. Simple and quick to make, it’s a great grilled vegetable side salad for BBQs and cookouts, or it eat it on it’s own as a main meal.

Oil: Combine oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Lightly brush corn and cut zucchini with ¼ cup of the mixture (keep the remainder).
Grill: Grill veggies over medium/high heat, flipping occasionally to evenly cook, and charring some (but not all) for flavor. The zucchinis are done when they're a touch soft, about 10 minutes total. Corn may take a little longer, about 15 minutes, and is done when bright yellow with charred spots.
Cut: Cut corn from stalk (it's hot, so you may need to grasp it with a paper towel). Cut zucchini into ½ inch wide pieces.
Assemble: Whisk lemon juice into remaining oil mixture. Stir in grilled veggies and feta cheese (amount to your liking). Serve warm or cold.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Great hot or cold!
