SERVES:

INGREDIENTS:
- 2 small, firm zucchini
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup chopped basil
- Extra virgin olive oil as needed
- Salt to taste
- Romaine leaves (optional but good)
- Black pepper to taste
PROCEDURE:
Cut the top and bottom ends off of the zucchini and then cut them crosswise as thinly as you can.
Add those to a large mixing bowl and add the kernels of corn from two ears of corn, 4 ounces quartered and thinly sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, about 1/3-1/2 cup chopped fresh basil. Add a good splash of extra virgin olive oil to that and salt to taste and toss to combine.
All that is left is to add 3 medium rough chopped tomatoes and serve it up on top of optional leaves of romaine lettuce, finishing with a little more extra virgin olive oil and a good crack of black pepper.
HINTS:
Serve as a main course or along side any simple cooked meat or fish.
