Introduction

It is best to make this the night before to let all the flavors blend and allow the zucchini to soften a bit in the dressing. Toss frequently so everything can marinate together.

Ingredients

    3 medium zucchinis, ends removed (about 1200 grams)
    1 orange bell pepper, minced
    2 ears of corn, husked and silk removed
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 (15oz) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
    For the dressing:
    1 cup water
    1 cup Red Wine Vinegar
    1/8 tsp Stevia
    1 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Black Pepper
    2 tsp Italian Mixed Herbs
    1/4 tsp dried Basil
    2 large Garlic Cloves, crushed
    1 tsp Lemon Juice
    1 tsp Guar Gum
    1 cup Extra Virgin Oil Olive

Tips

If the dressing doesn’t seem like enough to cover you can make another ¼ or ½ batch and add it.


Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a rim (jelly roll pan) with foil or a silicone mat.

Add corn and halved tomatoes to the sheet pan and bake for 40 minutes, turning halfway through. Set pan aside until it’s cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: place all of the ingredients in a blender, besides guar gum and oil, and pulse until well combined. Then add guar gum and pulse a few more times then set to blend and pour oil in slowly. Once mixed thoroughly it's done.

Spiralize the zucchinis so it resembles thick spaghetti then chop them up so they are in more manageable small half circles. Add the zucchini noodles and bell pepper to a large bowl.

Shave the kernels off the corn with a knife. Add the kernels, tomatoes, and chickpeas to the bowl with the zucchini noodles. Then add the dressing and toss to combine.
