Grilled Corn and Summer Squash Pasta Salad

A fun, delicious, and refreshing way to use up all that summer squash! Liven up your summer salad rotation with this grilled corn and summer squash pasta salad. Pair it with my probiotic sun-dried tomato vinaigrette for a super gut-healthy meal! 

  • Prep: 25 minutes
  • Cook: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta, dry
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1 large yellow squash
  • 2 cups fire roasted corn, frozen*
  • 1/2 cup fermented pickles, chopped
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato vinaigrette
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Please see notes on summer grilling!
  2. Make the sun dried tomato vinaigrette if you haven’t already. And go ahead and chop up the pickles.
  3. Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain the pasta when it is done cooking.
  4. While your pasta cooks, wash the squash and zucchini. Slice off the ends, and then cut them in half long ways. Brush the insides with olive oil.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium. Place the squash and zucchini in the hot skillet, inside face down. Cook until nicely caramelized and browned (about 5 minutes; you can flip them to get some browning on the skins too) then remove from heat, but leave the skillet on.
  6. Add the frozen fire roasted corn to the skillet and cook until heated through (about 5 minutes)
  7. Sliced the cooked squash and zucchini halves.
  8. Add everything to a large bowl and toss to combine.
  9. Please leave a five-star review if you loved this easy recipe!

Notes

  • If you have an outdoor grill: In the summer I highly recommend grilling fresh corn, halved zucchini, and halved yellow squash. Once grilled you can slice the corn from the cobb and chop the summer squash for the pasta salad.
