  • 2 ears of corn, cut off the cob
  • 1 small zucchini, cut into moon shapes
  • 12 nectarines or peaches
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

Sun-dried Tomato Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 clove garlic

Instructions

Vinaigrette: Place ingredients into a food processor or blender, and blend until mixture is fairly smooth. Makes about 1 cup.

Assemble: Fill individual bowls with leafy greens and top with the remaining produce. Drizzle with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette overtop. Finish it off with mineral salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

Notes

Oil-free + raw vinaigrette: Soak dried sun-dried tomatoes in water for at least 20 minutes. Omit the oil, using water.

For variation, try this Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette.

Recommended Equipment: For pureeing the dressing I love using my NutriBullet (affiliate link). It’s compact, easy to clean and perfect for small jobs like this!
