I came up with this recipe when needing a colorful side dish to go with mild chicken enchiladas and which needed to be low spice, low acid, and without beans, tomatoes, peppers, or onions. Hope you enjoy.

Ingredients

1 carrot, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package frozen roasted corn (such as Trader Joe's)
1 small zucchini, quartered and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 stalk celery, diced

Directions

Place carrot in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup water. Microwave on high until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and saute until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper together to make the dressing. Stir in carrot, corn, zucchini, and celery. Refrigerate or serve at room temperature.

Cook's Notes:

Chopped basil or chopped cilantro can be added as desired.

Substituting balsamic vinegar for lemon juice produces a more intense flavor.
