ZUCCHINI AND FRESH CORN SALAD
This no-cook, raw salad gets its spunk from a garlicky-lemon basil vinaigrette and chunks of goat cheese that lightly marinate the thin squash peels and freshly shucked corn kernels.

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!
