Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, diced

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or 1 can, drained)

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for non-vegan)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado, diced (optional for creaminess)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing all your fresh produce. Dice the zucchinis, chop the bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes, and if using fresh corn, grill or boil the cobs to extract kernels.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, corn kernels, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. If you’re adding avocado for an extra creaminess, add it here.

        Pour and Toss: Drizzle the olive oil dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well-coated.

          Add Feta (if desired): Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad and give it a gentle toss to mix.

            Chill: For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

              Serve: Once chilled, give it a final toss and serve as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
