This is a great side dish. I love to make it in the summer and fall when the zucchini and corn are fresh and more flavorful. You can serve this cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!

- 2 cups 1/4-inch diced zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

How To Make corn and zucchini side salad
-
Step 1Prep a big bowl with ice water to put the cooked corn into once it's finished.
-
Step 2Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Put the corn into the boiling water, put a lid on the pot, and take it off of the heat to sit for 3-5 minutes. Then drain the corn and plunge the corn cobs into the prepped ice water bowl. When the corn is cool enough to handle, shave the kernels off the cob and put into another big bowl.
-
Step 3Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped zucchini plus a bit of salt. Saute this for approx. 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Then add the zucchini to the corn.
-
Step 4Next, add in the red onion, vinegar, oil, the rest of the salt, and pepper and lightly mix.
-
Step 5Right before serving time, add in the fresh herbs (your choice of cilantro or basil). Taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can serve this either cold or at room temp. Enjoy!
