GRILLED SWEET CORN AND ZUCCHINI PANZANELLA SALAD WITH FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE

Grilled sweet corn and zucchini panzanella salad: With its fresh herb vinaigrette, this grilled salad is the ultimate tribute to summer’s best foods.

If there’s anything I look forward to all year long, it’s the abundance of fresh summer produce. Except for one or two years that I can remember, my parents didn’t have a vegetable garden but I have vivid memories of making the rounds – windows down, hot and humid summer air blowing in – to local farm stands with my mom each August to seek out the best tomatoes and sweet corn in the area.

I can still give you directions to no less that seven different farm stands we frequented each summer, even after all these years!

This grilled sweet corn and zucchini panzanella salad is the ultimate tribute to summer’s best foods and with the fresh herb vinaigrette I added to the mix, I dare you to turn this down.

HOW TO MAKE FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE

Let’s start with a little talk about the herb vinaigrette, shall we?

OK, first off, a really great vinaigrette will be one of your best recipes in the kitchen. You can drizzle it over salads and sandwiches. Or you can marinate chicken or pork in it.

To make a basic vinaigrette, you’ll whisk 1 part

If you want to turn things up a notch, the addition of fresh herbs to a vinaigrette kicks up the flavor of this dressing and can literally brighten the flavor of a whole meal.

As far as what herbs you should use for an herb vinaigrette, the choice is yours! My recipe here contains fresh parsley, oregano, and chives because that’s what I had on hand when I made it. But thyme, rosemary, and marjoram would all make for a nice vinaigrette too.

The corn, zucchini, and French baguette are all drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and then grilled to lightly charred perfection so there’s no need for the oven or stove. Let’s just add this one to my light meals for hot nights list!

Now, I have been coveting a John Boos cutting board for years and I was lucky enough work with one of the John Boos boards they carry for this post. This hardwood maple board just blew me away. In the past couple of months, I have been sharpening my go-to knife way more than I would like and I have been wondering if I need to get my knives professionally sharpened.

Nope, it’s the cutting boards I have been using that are preventing a nice smooth chop. My knife tore through the veggies and herbs for this salad on the Boos board like it was brand new – talk about blowing me away!

Grilled sweet corn and zucchini panzanella salad: With its fresh herb vinaigrette, this grilled salad is the ultimate tribute to summer’s best foods.

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE:
2 tbsp white or red wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 tbsp very finely minced shallot
1 tsp regular or light mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp table salt
Ground black pepper
6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh minced parsley or chives (I used both)
1 tsp minced fresh thyme, tarragon, marjoram, or oregano
FOR THE PANZANELLA SALAD:
2-3 ears corn, silk and husks removed
2 medium zucchini, sliced into long ¼-inch planks
4 oz cherry tomatoes, halved if needed
1 French baguette, sliced horizontally into two pieces through the equator
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat.
Whisk the vinegar, shallot, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a 2 cup glass measuring cup; set aside. Chop all of the herbs and set aside.
Drizzle the corn, zucchini, and cut side of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, turning every few minutes to prevent burning; the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side; and the bread until both sides are nicely toasted, about 4 minutes total.
Cut the corn off the cob, slice the zucchini into 1-inch pieces, and cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. Toss the corn, zucchini, bread, and tomatoes in a large salad bowl.
In a thin steady stream, quickly whisk the oil into the dressing ingredients until the mixture has thickened. Stir in the herbs.
Toss the dressing with the salad ingredients and serve immediately.
