ROASTED CORN AND ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH CHILI LIME VINAIGRETTE
Grilled, charred corn is paired with spiraled zucchini, crisp crimson onion and tossed with a easy chili lime vinaigrette for a sparkling, make in advance, summer time salad!
It should be mandatory that each meal must be made at the grill during the spring and summer season months. And while we are at it, let’s throw fall in there as well for correct success.
The popping of the charcoal, the sizzling sound of the meat because it cooks to juicy perfection; all of it just makes for one glad girl. And one satisfied fiancé, as he deems himself the king of the grill.
That is one region i'm satisfied to hand over. Kinda ironic as i am the chef on this duo but I balk on the thought of grilling.
