Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, diced

2 cups fresh sweet corn (or 1 can of drained corn)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 avocado, diced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky taste)

Crumbled feta cheese (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by washing and dicing the zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.

    Cook the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the corn for about 3-4 minutes, then drain and cool. For canned corn, simply rinse and drain.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, corn, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

        Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until emulsified.

          Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the veggies are coated in the dressing.

            Add Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor. Chill for 15 minutes before serving for optimal taste.
