Garlicky Summer Squash and Fresh Corn.

Garlicky Summer Squash and Fresh Corn.

When my girls and I visited Austin, TX a while back for a vacation, I wasn’t expecting a plate of Garlicky Summer Squash and Fresh Corn, even with their abundance of farm-to-table restaurants. The concept of farm-to-table is utterly enchanting, especially to a gardening enthusiast like me. I love growing my own produce and cooking up homemade meals, but sometimes you just want to splurge a little and try out a fancy restaurant. With farm-to-table, you know that you’re getting fresh, locally-produced ingredients prepared in a way that honors and highlights their natural flavors, just like I would have done in my own kitchen.

You also never know what the menu is going to look like, which is half the fun!

The first restaurant we visited had this Garlicky Summer Squash and Fresh Corn as a side salad — and it was absolutely scrumptious. The unmistakable aroma of garlic, the tender mouthfeel of summer squash, and the slightly sweet crunch of corn is an absolutely award-winning combination.

When we got back, I immediately busied myself with recreating it. I daresay I’ve done a pretty good job with this Garlicky Summer Squash and Fresh Corn recipe! Corn, zucchini, and yellow squash, seasoned with onion, garlic, butter, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper — the savory explosion of flavor will have you clearing out the entire plate. It’s best served warm, so don’t worry about preparing it hours in advance. You just need thirty minutes before lunch or dinner to whip up this nutrition-packed salad. Using garden-fresh zucchini and summer squash is best for a recipe like this, so look forward to your next harvest!
