Summer grilling is my most favorite thing to do with the family. From grilling meats and seafood to veggies, you can create amazing fresh and tasty recipes. Grilling is a must to flavorful food this summer.


My ultimate favorite sauce for grilled meats and veggies, is chimichurri. It is great combination of flavors. It has lots of parsley and garlic and the red wine vinegar adds a tangy layer. But for this recipe I swapped the red wine vinegar for balsamic vinegar. This is a delicious sauce or dressings for this summer veggie salad. Bright colors, bold flavors and crunchy goodness on each bite.


So, who is ready to grill and make this great summer salad?


First, pick your favorite summer veggies. I chose zucchini, corn and cherry tomatoes. I used 2 corns and cooked them first in water for 10 minutes so it softens the corn and it grills in few minutes to get the amazing chard crust.


Then you will cut the zucchinis into wedges, season with salt and olive oil and grill each side for about 3-4 minutes. To assemble this easy summer salad recipe, just layer the zucchinis, then the grilled corn pieces, add the cherry tomatoes, garnish with parsley and drizzle of the balsamic chimichurri.

This will be a great salad for your 4th of July BBQ or backyard grilling Independence Day party!

Here are the key ingredients:

  • grilled corn
  • grilled zucchini
  • freash cherry tomatoes
  • fresh parsley
  • balsamic chimichurri

It's healthy, delicious and the perfect summer side dish.
