Ingredients
Grilled Zucchini Salad
- 4 medium zucchinis 2 sliced into ½ inch rounds, 2 sliced lengthwise into ¼ inch strips
- 2 ears corn shucked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups salad greens
- 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
- ½ can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Sunflower Seed Dressing
- ½ cup toasted sunflower seeds see notes
- ¾ cup water
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon miso use gluten-free soy sauce, if needed
- 1 clove garlic
- Optional: a pinch of cayenne
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Oil and preheat your grill to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the zucchini and corn with the oil and sea salt. Grill, turning the zucchini once and the corn a few times. Cook the zucchini for 3-4 minutes per side and the corn for 10 minutes. When the corn is cool enough to touch, cut off the kernels.
- While the zucchini and corn are cooking, place all the sunflower seed dressing ingredients into your high-powered blender and blend on high until smooth.
- Layer the salad greens, alfalfa sprouts, chickpeas, cabbage, sunflower seeds, dill, and the grilled zucchini and corn in a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to coat.
Notes
- If you don't have a high-powered blender, use sunflower seed butter instead of whole seeds.
