Sea Salt
1 large clove Garlic
1 Tbsp fresh Lemon Juice
½ tsp Navitas Organics Camu Powder
½ Cup (packed) Parsley
3 tablespoons minced fresh Mint

DIRECTIONS

Set the oven to broil and move a baking rack on the second-to-top shelf. Place the corn on a baking sheet, and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Roast for about 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until corn is golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Once cool enough to handle? cut the kernels from the husks over a large bowl. Discard the husks.

Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini, and sauté until bright green, about 2 minutes. Add the corn kernels? beans, and a couple spoonfuls of the green sauce, and sauté until all ingredients are warmed and zucchini is tender, about 2-3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and toss in remaining sauce and cherry tomatoes. Serve warm or cold.
