For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn on the cob before cutting off the kernels. Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like cilantro, chives, or basil. A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a bright, zesty finish to the dish.
Celebrate the vibrant flavors of your local farmer's market with this incredibly fresh and delightful corn toss. This dish is a symphony of textures and tastes, easily adaptable to your preference. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost, and serve it as a light lunch or a colorful side dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned (approximately 3 minutes).
Add the corn kernels, diced zucchini, and cooked chicken (if using) to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the corn is bright yellow (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and half of the shredded cheese over the vegetable mixture. Gently toss to combine, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Transfer the corn toss to a serving dish and top with the remaining cheese. Serve immediately.
