Curried Corn Zucchini And Bell Pepper Salad Recipes

ZUCCHINI CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cilantro, and feta cheese.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. I also love to add few teaspoons of honey to bring out the sweetness of corn but it is totally optional.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and throughly toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Before serving, stir the salad and taste. Does it need more salt? More lime juice? Or maybe even more feta or cilantro.

RED CURRY ZUCCHINI AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mix coconut milk, curry paste and salt in a blender; process until smooth. (You use only part of this, so the nutritional information is way off. The remainder can be refrigerated for a week. Use at room temperature).
• Heat a 12 in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat. Add onion; cook until golden, about 3 minutes.
• Add xucchini and bell peppers (I used one whole purple pepper, whatever sweet pepper you can get will be just fine). Cook, stirring, until golden and tender, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in garlic and pepper flakes; cook 1 minute.
• Stir in 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of the coconut mixture. Add peas, if using. Simmer gently to reduce the sauce somewhat and blend the flavors, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste for salt. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve over rice.

• Stir together zucchini, peppers, and onion.
• In a jar with a tight lid, make dressing by shaking vinegar, oil, and sugar.
• Pour dressing over veggies and toss gently.
• Cover and chill a few hours or overnight.
• Stir before serving with a slotted spoon so that the excess dressing runs off.
