Step 1

Start by putting the carrot in a microwave-safe bowl with about a cup of water. Microwave it on high for around a minute until it's just tender but still a bit crisp, then drain off the water. Next, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the corn and cook it for 3 to 5 minutes until it's warmed through. Add the zucchini and cook everything together for another couple of minutes until the zucchini is tender but still has a bit of bite. Once the veggies are done, transfer them to a large bowl and let them cool down a bit. While that’s happening, whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, a splash of water, and some salt and pepper to make a simple dressing. Finally, mix the dressing with the carrot, corn, zucchini, and celery. You can either chill the salad in the fridge or serve it right away at room temperature.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep any dressing separate if possible to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Give it a gentle stir before serving again.
