Notes

  • You can assemble the grilled zucchini and corn salad ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator, but wait to add the tomatoes and cheese until just before serving to maintain their freshness.
  • You can store salad leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, keep in mind that the texture of the zucchini may soften over time.
