Ingredients
- 3 small zucchinis, ends removed and cut into 4 long wedges (lengthwise)
- Olive oil or avocado oil, for brushing zucchini
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 large ears of corn, shucked
- 4 cups arugula or chopped spinach
- 1 to 2 avocados, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup queso fresco
- cilantro lime vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Brush the zucchini with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- When the grill is hot, use tongs to place the ears of corn on the grill. Cook, turning often, until charred all over.
- Add the zucchini when the corn is halfway done, cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the zucchini is tender, but not mushy, and there are nice grill marks.
- Transfer the zucchini and corn to a large cutting board. Let cool for 5 minutes. Use a sharp knife to chop the zucchini and to remove the corn kernels from the cob.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, arugula, avocado, green onion, queso fresco, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle with desired amount of cilantro lime vinaigrette. Stir to combine. Taste and add more dressing, if necessary, and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve.
