Steps:
- Slice the kernels off the corn cobs and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Combine with the tomatoes and red onion. Make a dressing of the olive oil mustard and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the vegetables and toss; marinate overnight. Right before serving, combine the zucchini with the rest of the ingredients; transfer them to a platter lined with lettuce and garnish with pitted olives.
PASTA WITH CORN, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES
The two things I love most about this dish of summer vegetables and pasta are the crunch of the corn against the tenderness of the pasta and the fact that I cannot seem to settle on a combination of flavorings that I think is best. Chile powder, a little bit of cayenne, perhaps some cilantro are all excellent choices. But with pasta this seems too heretical even for a culinary atheist like me, so I usually go in a tamer direction: a suspicion of garlic with some fresh tarragon or basil. It is flexible not only in its flavorings but in its ingredients. You can use onions, garlic or shallots, singly or in combination; add string beans (or even fresh limas) to the mix; substitute eggplant for the zucchini. Think of it as a delicious mélange of whatever is on hand.

Steps:
- Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown. Add zucchini and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to brown.
- Add onion or shallots and garlic if you are using it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add tarragon and cook for 30 seconds, then tomatoes. Put pasta in boiling water and cook until tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While pasta cooks continue to cook sauce, reducing heat when tomatoes begin to break down. If sauce dries out (with plum tomatoes, this is likely), add some pasta cooking water, about 1/2 cup at a time. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce and remaining oil or butter, and serve immediately.

- Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Add zucchini, corn, tomatoes, and basil and toss well.
ZUCCHINI, TOMATO, AND RICE GRATIN
Adapted by Smitten Kitchen from a recipe originally in 3/2008 Gourmet. A great way to use up excess zuke and tomatoes. I use brown rice and add feta cheese and a bit of Greek oregano to mine. Save dirty pans by cooking the rice in the skillet you will use later for the onions, and cover your baking sheets with parchment; foil reacts with the acid in tomatoes. You'll get fewer servings if having it as a vegetarian main course.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F Cook the rice according to your favorite method.
- While rice cooks, coat two large baking sheets each with a tablespoon of a of olive oil. Spread zucchini and tomato slices on the baking sheets in as close to a single layer as you can. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Roast tomatoes for 10 minutes and zucchini for 20. Flip zucchini halfway through, but don't bother to flip the tomatoes.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, heat oil, then add onions, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt to pan. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking onion until limp and tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Combine onion mixture, rice, eggs, thyme, half of your grated cheese and a half-tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl. Add a good amount of freshly ground black pepper. Use the remaining half-tablespoon of olive oil to coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Spread half of the rice mixture in bottom of dish. Arrange half of roasted zucchini on top. Spread remaining rice mixture over it, arrange remaining zucchini on top, then tomato slices. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese and bake in the top third of the oven until set and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
