Farm Fresh Zucchini And Corn Salad With Citrus Herb Dressing Food

ZUCCHINI AND FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the Salad
• With a wide vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini and squash lengthwise into long ribbons (discarding the middle - you'll know when you get to it, because the squash will get too thin and watery.) Place the ribbons in a good sized bowl or plate, alternating so you can see equal amounts of green and yellow. Add the corn kernels and about 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Toss. Add salt, freshly ground pepper and chili flakes to taste. Add the goat cheese and garnish with fresh torn basil.
• For the Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette
• Add all of the ingredients to a small jar with a lid and shake well. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
• Note: You'll have vinaigrette left over to use on other salads, or make this one again!

GOLDEN CITRUS ZUCCHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Base recipe:
• Combine the zucchini, scallion, lime juice, oil, and salt in an upright blender (see Note) and blend until smooth, starting on a lower speed and gradually increasing it as the dressing comes together. Use a rubber spatula (with the blender off) to help move the ingredients around as necessary, or use the tamper stick if using a high-powered blender. Adjust the seasoning to taste-some variations with lots of extra herbs will need more salt. Scrape down the sides and blend again. Use immediately, or store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. The dressing will thicken once chilled; thin it out with a little water if needed.
• Golden citrus zucchini dressing:
• Make the dressing following the instructions for the base recipe, adding the turmeric, orange juice, cashew butter, nutritional yeast, and garlic to the blender along with the other ingredients.

FARM FRESH ZUCCHINI AND CORN SALAD WITH CITRUS HERB DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the sliced yellow and green zucchini in a bowl and splash with vinegar. Sprinkle on salt and let sit while prepping the rest of the ingredients. The squash will wilt a bit. Add in corn kernels, herbs, juices and oil, toss, and season to taste.

CORN, TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Slice the kernels off the corn cobs and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Combine with the tomatoes and red onion. Make a dressing of the olive oil mustard and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the vegetables and toss; marinate overnight. Right before serving, combine the zucchini with the rest of the ingredients; transfer them to a platter lined with lettuce and garnish with pitted olives.
