Equipment

  • grill or grill pan
  • sharp knives

Ingredients

  • 2-3 zucchinis
  • 2 corn on the cobs
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 cup arugula
  • ½ cup halloumi or feta see notes

Honey Lime Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt *more as needed
  • ½ tsp black cracked pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup fresh lime *about 1-2 fresh limes
  • 1½ Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  • Start with prepping the veggies. Slice the Zucchini length wise into 2-3 slices. The sliced shouldn't be too thin. They need to be hearty once chopped up to hold up in the salad. Chop the peppers in half and scoop out all the seeds. 
  • Fire up the grill! If using the stove top, place a grill pan on the stove on medium high heat. Brush or spritz all the veggies with oil, place on the grill or the grill pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Mix up the dressing. Squeeze the lime, add the seasoning, honey, garlic, lime, oil, chopped cilantro and whisk. Grill the veggies for about 2-3 minute each side or until the veggies have a nice charred grill mark.
  • If using halloumi add it to the grill or grill pan. Only grill for about one minutes each side (it doesn't need nearly as much time as the veggies!) If you are using feta, skip this part. 
  • Once the veggies have cooled, chop them up into bite sized (1 inch or smaller) pieces. Try to make them equal in size so it's easier to eat. Add all the veggies to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss well. Add the cheese and arugula and gently mix. 

Notes

*use any cheese of choice! I prefer grilled halloumi or fresh crumbled feta.
*Mexican squash or yellow squash will work great.
