Zucchini and Chickpea Salad

Celebrate the summer with this grilling zucchini and chickpea salad! To contrast the tenderness of grilled zucchini, I have used crunchy roasted chickpeas. The smokiness of the grilled zucchini also pairs nicely with the salsa made out of cherry tomatoes, shallots and herbs. Use this salad as your main meal, or pair it with grilled meats!

Using that as inspiration, I created this Radish and Basil Compound Butter that is so simple to make and quite beautiful with the pink and green flecks. Whether served on light as air bread, crackers or a perfectly seared steak, it adds something special.

Nothing beats Colorado sweet corn! A dry climate means the corn is less watery, making each kernel pack a more sugary, corn-y punch. I like to serve a scoop of this ice cream on top of half a grilled peach!
