Easy grilled zucchini salad with charred corn, feta cheese and peppery arugula is a delicious, gluten free and vegetarian summer salad.

Corn and grilled zucchini salad

The side dishes are almost always the highlight of any summer gathering. Of course the grilled meat or fish is delicious, but salads made with summer fresh corn, zucchini, tomatoes and cucumbers are just too good to pass up. Add pepper leaves like arugula or rocket and creamy, salty cheese like feta or goat’s cheese and you have sides your guests will swoon over.

Ingredients needed

Full recipe with28 amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

  • Fresh zucchini
  • Corn. Fresh or frozen. If you’re using corn on the cob, grill it with the zucchini then slice the kernels off the cob.
  • Feta cheese.
  • Arugula / Rocket. 
  • Olive oil. 
  • Lemon juice. 
  • Salt and pepper. 

How to make zucchini salad

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Slice fresh zucchini into thick slices. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the zucchini until golden brown on both sides with grill marks.
  2. Assemble the salad: Place the grilled zucchini in a large bowl and add charred or roasted corn, crumbled feta cheese (you can use goat’s cheese too) and fresh arugula (rocket).
  3. Dress and serve: Dress simply with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and serve.

Can you make grilled zucchini salad in advance?

This salad can be made up to a day in advance. Just add the arugula and dressing before serving as the leaves will wilt and become soggy.

    Could you use spinach instead of arugula?
