Ingredients
Scale
2 medium zucchinis, diced
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 avocado, diced
For the Green Goddess Dressing:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini and corn. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the zucchini and corn mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the Green Goddess dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chives, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Once the zucchini and corn are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted zucchini and corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, basil, parsley, and avocado. Drizzle with the Green Goddess dressing and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
For added crunch, consider topping the salad with toasted pumpkin seeds or walnuts before serving.
Substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version of the dressing.
