Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- 2 bunches broccolini
- 2 red onions
- 2 corn cobs, husks discarded

Recipe adapted from East by Meera Sohda.
Instructions
- Preheat a chargrill pan over high heat.
- For the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thick slices, trim the broccolini and break the stalks into individual stems. Cut the onions into wedges.
- Brush the zucchini and onion wedges with the dressing. Dunk the broccolini stems in the dressing so they’re totally coated. Grill the zucchini, onion and broccolini in batches until tender and lightly charred. Place them however you like on the plate so they look inviting.
- Using a pair of tongs, hold each corn cob over a medium flame until the kernels starts to blister and char. When cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cobs and scatter over the top of the salad. Pour over the remaining dressing and serve.
