Grilled Zucchini and corn tossed with a lime-honey dressing and sprinkled with feta cheese pairs great with any grilled meat. It’s simple to toss together and is full of fresh, summer flavor. The honey and lime balance each other well and contribute a little sweetness and a little acidity.
Add in the saltiness of feta cheese and a touch of fresh thyme and you have yourself a winning summer side.
Summer will be over soon so I wanted to go ahead and get my last zucchini recipe posted. School started back for my kids today and once that happens it starts to feel like summer is over even though it isn’t technically. It won’t be long before apple and pumpkin recipes are everywhere.
It’s been a busy week and I’ve just returned from spending a few days in Asheville, NC at Food Blog Forum. Have you ever been to Asheville? It’s such a lovely place, especially Biltmore Estate. Look at this fabulous view. This picture was taken from an outdoor venue on the estate where we had a fabulous dinner catered by Biltmore chefs.

Can’t believe summer is flying by so fast and your kids are back to school already. Hope they had a great first day 🙂 Biltmore Estate is stunning and that’s awesome that they held the food blogger forum there. I love this pretty salad.

Waah!! @Christin Thanks for sharing this recipe, I really need this. My son loves Zucchini and I know he would loved this. Btw great blog you got here, I think I’ll be your avid visitors by now. I hope for more recipe to come. Keep going =)
This salad looks so tasty! But if you’re making dishes with zucchini you should always buy veggies that are no longer than 8 inches. According to this tip: http://www.listonic.com/protips/get/soeextwjle longer zucchini can be bitter.
wow that estate looks beautiful! the salad looks delicious also.. loving the look of the grilled veggies.
Looks good!
Thanks Matt!

So many kids going back to school already! Mine is home until after Labor Day…I want to savor every bit of summer since it went by too fast! I am craving fresh corn constantly – this is a great recipe to use it for!
I wish mine didn’t go back until after Labor Day! Hate feeling like summer is over when it isn’t.
This salad is the epitome of summer…I can’t get enough of corn and zucchini, and grilled is the best! The food blogger forum sounded wonderful. I need to find one in my neck of the woods!
