Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn cleaned
- olive oil as necessary to coat
- 2 large zucchini trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 green onions trimmed and sliced into thin rounds
- about 1/3 cup finely minced fresh cilantro or to taste
- 6 ounces Greek yogurt I used 0% fat
- 3 to 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar honey may be substituted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat or use an indoor grill pan and heat over medium-high heat.
- Evenly and liberally drizzle the corn with olive oil and massage it into the ears; set aside on a plate.
- Add the zucchini pieces to a grill basket (if you don’t have a grill basket you’ll need to cut them in large enough rounds so they don’t fall through the grates) and evenly drizzle with olive oil to coat.
- Place the corn and zucchini on the grill and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it’s as cooked as desired; rotate corn a quarter turn every couple of minutes to ensure even cooking and toss zucchini every couple of minutes.
- Place cooked corn on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cobs, and place the kernels into a large bowl.
- Add the zucchini, green onions, and cilantro to the bowl; set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, agave, salt, pepper, and whisk until smooth. Taste and add more lime juice, agave, salt, etc. if desired.
- Evenly drizzle sauce over corn and zucchini and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt or pepper if desired.
- Add the queso fresco and stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.
Notes
- Extra will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.
