Creamy Zucchini Corn Salad
Corn and zucchini are two of my favorite summertime vegetables. Grilling them helps them taste just that much better. Especially when they’re tossed in a creamy sauce and you add cheese. This creamy corn salad is an easy-breezy salad that’s ready in 15 minutes and layered with Mexican-inspired flavors including green onions, cilantro, queso fresco, and I tossed everything in a lime and agave-infused sauce. I loved eating this for lunch and it’s also a perfect weeknight side dish. Or make it for your next picnic or potluck because everyone will gobble it up.
