Zucchini Corn Medley
One day when I was a girl, a neighbor brought over a dish similar to this one. I hadn't had it in 20 years but kept thinking about the fabulous flavor combination, so I decided to re-create it. I don't know if it's the same, but my family likes it today as much as I did back then.—Marian Quaid-Maltagliati, Nipomo, California6 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 20 min.
