Ingredients
- 1 diced carrot
- A generous tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 package of frozen roasted corn (Trader Joe's style), weighing 16 ounces
- 1 small zucchini, sliced thinly after being quartered
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- A tablespoon of honey
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice, a tablespoon
- A tablespoon of water
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Diced celery, one stalk
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, gently place the vibrant carrot and add a cup of water for a quick steam. Let it dance in the microwave until it reaches the perfect crisp-tender texture, for about a minute. Once done, gracefully drain it and set it aside.
Step 2
Now, in a skillet, heat up a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Tenderly add the corn and let it sauté until it's warmed through, usually taking about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, introduce the zucchini to the party and cook until it's just right - crisp-tender in about 2 to 3 minutes. Gently transfer this delightful mix to a spacious bowl and allow it to cool down peacefully.
Step 3
In a small bowl, create the enchanting dressing by combining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a touch of honey, a splash of lemon juice, a hint of water, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir this concoction until it harmonizes into a beautiful dressing. Now, fold in the cooked carrot, corn, zucchini, and some celery for an extra crunch. You can either chill this dish in the refrigerator or serve it gracefully at room temperature.
