Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Chipotle Lemon Dressing

Nothing says summer vegetables like zucchini,
and nothing says fun like ribbons so I put them together in a quick, simple salad...

I think the easiest way to cut a zucchini into ribbons,
 is just to use an everyday peeler and go down the length of it...

The real surprise of this salad is the dressing.
Just 3 ingredients, fresh lemon juice, olive oil and Teriacha Chipotle Sauce.
The chipotle sauce is slightly sweet, a touch spicy 
and just the right amount of smoky flavor to give this recipe a kick.

It's perfect as a light lunch or a great side for all your BBQ adventures!



Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Chipotle Lemon Dressing
serves 4
salad:
2-3 large zucchinis cut into thin length-wise slices or ribbons
1/2 of a large shallot finely diced
3 fresh ears of corn with kernels cut off cob
4-5 torn basil leaves
for dressing whisk together:
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon Teriacha Chipotle Sauce (or similar chipotle sauce)
1 tsp kosher salt
Toss first 3 ingredients together in bowl with dressing.  Top with basil and serve.

Thank you Teriacha for providing me with your amazing sauces.  Looking forward to an amazing summer of grilling with you!

Veggie Skillet Cornbread - Healthy Meals with Vegetables everyone loves

As the cold and rain of winter sets in, 
all my family seems to want are warm comforting foods.
Keeping it healthy can be a challenge, 
and I am always looking to make simple, delicious meals filled with vegetables.

 My favorite way to pack in the veggies is skillet corn bread.
Versatile, customizable, beautiful and an easy, quick mealtime crowd pleaser.

I love using C&W Frozen Vegetables because with over 25 varieties,
the combinations are endless and no matter what the season, 
I can count on finding exactly what we need.
I got this recipe's selection of yellow and green zucchini squash, 
pepper strips and petite white and golden corn at Walmart.

(while supplies last)

Veggie Skillet Cornbread
1 box of your favorite corn bread mix
1 cup C&W Frozen Petite White and Golden Corn
1 cup C&W Frozen Pepper Strips 
C&W Frozen Yellow and Green Zucchini Squash

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat an 8 inch cast iron skillet with non stick spray.
Prepare corn bread mix according to package instructions.  Stir in corn and pepper strips, then top with zucchini squash.  Bake approximately 45 minutes until throughly cooked and top is golden brown.  Baking times may very due to amount of liquid in vegetables so test with a toothpick and remove corn bread once toothpick comes out clean.  Let rest half hour prior to serving.
