Farm Fresh Zucchini And Corn Salad With Citrus Herb Dressing Recipes

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Cut zucchini lengthwise in half, and cut into 1/4 inch thick wedges about 1 1/2 inches long. Sprinkle wedges with salt.
• Saute minced garlic in hot oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
• Pour Citrus-Herb Dressing over zucchini, tossing to coat. Garnish with lemon slices. Serve immediately.
