If you like zucchini, fresh corn, and cheese, you will love this dish. It is low in calories and can even be fat-free if you do not use the cheese or you can use low-fat cheese. This is an old family recipe. It can be used as a side dish with any kind of meat or even eaten as a main dish if you are a vegetarian.

We loved this flavorful zucchini summer side dish. The savory zucchini pairs well with the sweet flavors from the corn and onion. Simple to make, the melty cheese on top makes this feel indulgent. Great will grilled chicken and steak.
