Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 medium white onion
- 1 medium orange bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
- 2 cups butterhead lettuce
- 0.5 medium shallot
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sage
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinaigrette
Instructions
- 1Spiralize the zucchini into noodle form. If the zucchini is very watery, lightly salt the noodles and let them sit in a colander for 15-20 minutes to drain excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
- 2Heat light olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and shallot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the granulated garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3Add the diced orange and green bell peppers and fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Cook until the peppers are slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss everything together to combine. Cook for just a few minutes, until the zucchini noodles are slightly tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
- 5Season the vegetable mixture with sea salt, white pepper, Thyme, sage, and fresh rosemary. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- 6Serve the Zucchini Noodle Primavera immediately. Garnish with torn butterhead lettuce.
