Ingredients
- 1 courgette large, sliced into 1cm thick rounds
- 2 corns on the cob husks removed if needed
- 120 g tomatoes chopped
- 1 avocado stoned, peeled, cut into chunks
- 150 g cucumber chopped
- 10 g coriander chopped
Dressing:
- 40 ml Greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon clear honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
On a BBQ Grill:
- Lightly brush the corn on the cobs with oil. Add them onto a preheated BBQ grill and cook for 15-20 minutes turning ocasionally until softened and charred slightly.
- Place courgettes on a lightly oiled silicone mat on a BBQ grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
On The Stove:
- If you are cooking inside, place oiled corns in a dry pan and cook on medium-high heat turning occasionally for approx. 15-20 minutes.
- Pour a teaspoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Once hot, add the courgette rounds and cook on each side until softened and slightly browned.
In The Oven:
- Wrap each of the oiled seasoned corn on the cob in a large sheet of foil and seal.
- Place them on a baking tray and cook in the oven preheated to 200°C Fan for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. If you want the charred look and a bit of smoky flavour, use a kitchen blow torch on them after the corn is cooked.
- Cook courgettes in a frying pan (as above) or arrange them in a single layer on a baking parchment-lined tray and cook in the oven for 15 minutes, until soft.
***
- Mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, gently mix the cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, coriander and half of the courgette. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn off of the cobs and add them to the salad too.
- Arrange the rest of the courgette rounds on top of the salad and drizzle with the lime yoghurt dressing.
