Fresh corn and zucchini salad

Fresh summer corn is so sweet and bright, it doesn’t need a lot to shine. This salad has a great crunch and a sweetness brought out by the lemon juice. Enjoy another bite of summer!

• 2 ears corn, husks and silks removed
• 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced – on a mandolin if you have one.
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• sea salt and black pepper

1. Slice the zucchini – either on a mandolin or very thinly – but not paper thin – with a knife. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Wash and husk the corn well. Char lightly outside either over an open flame burner, just a minute or two on each side, on a low flame. Make sure you clean the silks well because otherwise they will burn!

3. Run your knife down the cob and mix the raw corn kernels with the zucchini.

4. Chop cilantro roughly, mix with vegetables (use your hands). Season with more pepper and a little more salt. Dress with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
