Grilled Zucchini and Corn Salad
A fresh, vibrant summer dish that's both healthy and delicious. The combination of lightly charred zucchini and sweet corn creates a perfect balance of flavors, while a zesty lime dressing brings everything together.
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch planks
- 4 ears of fresh corn husked
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
