I love meals like this because it proves how easy I love meals like this because it proves how easy and stress-free cooking can be! I just grabbed what I had on hand and it turned out so bomb 🤤 

Here’s what I came up with:

—Roasted veggies. I used cauliflower, broccoli, butternut squash, and yellow bell pepper. I tossed the veg in @getgraza olive oil, sea salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 min stirring once halfway thru.

—Cajun Chick’n from @daringfoods SO insanely delicious and was ready in 5 minutes. Like I can’t stress how tasty this vegan chick’n is.

—Chickpea pasta @eatbanza Kept it super simple and just stirred in a cube of vegan butter. So yummy and has a good amount of protein.

—Arugula salad. I tossed arugula with a splash of @getgraza olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. It added suchhh a nice flavor.

Corn & Zucchini Summer Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

We’ve got you covered for the ultimate summer salad. This Corn & Zucchini based salad has an abundance of flavors while keeping super light and refreshing for hot summer days. Paired with this delicious vegan salad is a tangy Champagne Vinaigrette made with only a few simple ingredients.

Summer Seasonal Ingredients

My favorite part of summer is all of the delicious seasonal produce! The stars of this salad are the corn and zucchini, and the combo of the roasted veggies and crisp lettuce is truly unmatched. I used frozen fire roasted corn from Whole Foods for convenience – the taste is incredible and the only ingredient is corn. I roughly chopped and sautéed the zucchini, but feel free to roast or airfry them. The ingredients in this plant based salad are simple yet still ultra flavorful.

  • Finely Chopped Romaine.
  • Arugula.
  • Fire Roasted Corn.
  • Sautéed Zucchini.
  • Sliced Avocado.
  • Vegan Feta.
  • Champagne Vinaigrette.

Champagne Vinaigrette

This tangy recipe pairs well with EVERYTHING and is so easy to make! You only need a small drizzle atop this summer salad, so store the leftovers in the fridge. It’ll last a couple weeks!

Simply add your ingredients to a mixing bowl then blend until creamy. I use my Ninja Blender which is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. This dressing requires:

  • Champagne Vinegar
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Shallot
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Maple Syrup
  • Sea Salt

The crunchy tamari tofu is the star - chop 1/2 block of high protein tofu into cubes and toss in 1 tbsp avocado oil, 2 tbsp tamari, and 2 tbsp corn starch. Air fry until crispy! 

Pair it with warm quinoa, crisp shredded romaine, refreshing cucumber and avocado, black sesame seeds, and flavorful spicy mayo. I use @primalkitchenfoods vegan mayo and any sriacha. To dieee for.
