Aw, man…. this salad is soooooo good!

Chock full of all things fresh!  

Delicious corn, sweet peaches, nutritious zucchini and creamy avocados.

All grilled to impart a smoky, summertime flavor.

Our tangy dressing is freshly made with basil and lemon perfecting this salad’s lovely presentation

If I’m making my own dressing, I like to do that first.  It allows the dressing ingredients to marry and mellow together before using.  Of course, we start with fresh California basil

Finely chop the basil and mince the garlic.  This dressing is very easy and you probably have all the ingredients already in your pantry.  Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and a little salt.  Mix together and set aside

Grill the corn, zucchini, peaches and avocado on a super hot grill.  Allow to rest before cutting.  This is a cold salad so everything needs to be cooled off before going into the salad anyway.  You could even do this grilling a few hours in advance, just make sure to protect the avocado from browning.  

When you are ready to serve, build your base.  8 oz. of fresh arugula

Add 2 cups of cooked, cooled quinoa

The next layer is feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes

Add the corn and zucchini

Lastly, add the peaches and avocado

Lovely!

Pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine

Prepare to hear your friends and family rave and beg for the recipe.  

Well, here ya go!
