Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise (2 cups)
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Special equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer with julienne cutter or a julienne peeler

Steps:

  • Working with 1 zucchini at a time, cut lengthwise into very thin (julienne) strips with slicer, turning zucchini and avoiding core. Discard core.
  • Toss zucchini strips with 1 teaspoon salt and let drain in a colander set over a bowl, covered and chilled, 1 hour.
  • Gently squeeze handfuls of zucchini to remove excess water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cook corn in a small saucepan of boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  • 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.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a winner. The dressing is so good! I like to use a little less oil than the recipe calls for, but that's just personal preference.
