Summer Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

If you are looking for the perfect summer salad you have found it. It is fresh, hearty, and has a ton of flavor thanks to a mix of cooked and raw vegetables. Instead of lettuce, I chose to use zucchini noodles as the base. All of the flavors of summer are here- grilled corn, fresh tomatoes, and cilantro lime dressing to bring it all together. Best of all it only takes 20 minutes to make, enjoy!
