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.

Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small or medium zucchini
1 small or medium yellow squash
1 ear of corn (, shucked and cleaned, with the kernels cut off the cob)
1 ounce goat cheese
Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette (, recipe below)
Red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few leaves of fresh torn basil
*optional: A few tablespoons of toasted pine nuts
For the Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic (, minced)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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!
