Description
As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to whip up a meal that’s both quick and delicious. That’s why I’m excited to share my Grilled Zucchini Corn and Noodle Salad with you! This refreshing dish is perfect for those hot summer days when you want something light yet satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the zucchini for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- If using fresh corn, grill the corn on the cob for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. If using frozen corn, sauté it in a skillet with a little olive oil until heated through.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled zucchini, corn, and rice noodles. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and feta cheese, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese.
- This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.
