1 1/2 pounds medium zucchini
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup fresh corn kernels (cut from 2 ears)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

TOMATO, CORN AND ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH BROWN RICE image

Categories Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cooked brown rice (can easily substitute quinoa or pasta)
1 medium zucchini (about 2 cups raw), quartered lengthwise and diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 ear corn
crumbled feta for garnish
1 leek, diced (about 3/4 cup)
5 green onions, diced (about 1 cup)
1 Tbs chopped basil
2 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs white balsamic vinegar
2 tsp grainy dijon mustard
salt to taste

Steps:

Bring water to boil for the corn; when boiling, place ear of corn into water and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water. To remove corn from cob, stand the corn lengthwise on a cutting board and slice top to bottom with a sharp knife. While the water is coming to a boil, heat a pan over a medium flame. Saute zucchini until golden but not completely soft. Combine brown rice, tomatoes, corn and zucchini in a large bowl. Set aside. Meanwhile, saute green onion and leeks until they just begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Spoon into a food processor. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, basil and salt and process until blended. Spoon this over the salad ingredients and mix together. Top with crumbled feta cheese. Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated.
