Ingredients:

Serving

2 small zucchini
2 ears sweet corn
5 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 lb tomatoes, chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (91319), or to taste (optional)
2/3 cup uncooked couscous
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup minced parsley (and/or dill , chives , mint , etc.)
1 salt to taste

Directions:

Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds, then cut those rounds into 1/2-inch sticks.
Husk corn and slice the kernels off.
Heat 2 Tbs. oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the zucchini and corn, stirring, until lightly browned.
Combine with the remaining ingredients in a salad bowl, cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 45 min. The couscous will absorb the moisture around it and swell noticeably. Add remaining 3 Tbs. olive oil, stir well, and adjust the seasoning before serving.
