Steps:

• BROIL the bell pepper halves for about 10 minutes or until the skin is blistered and blackened.
• Place the bell peppers in a clean paper bag, seal bag and allow peppers to "sweat" for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat up 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan and sautè the onion.
• Fry for approximately 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.

Steps:

• Trim the ends from the zucchini. Using a food processor, a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the zucchini in thin, uniform rounds.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or a wok. Add the garlic, then immediately toss in the corn kernels, jalapeno pepper and red pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and stir-fry just until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes.
• Fold in the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. The dish can also be set aside to cool to room temperature before serving, but if so, the ingredients will benefit from the addition of another tablespoon of olive oil drizzled over them.

• Sprinkle on the lime juice and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel zucchini and chop into 1/2-inch cubes or thin strips about 2 inches long. (If it is fresh and tender, peeling isn't necessary.)

• Stir together zucchini, peppers, and onion.
• In a jar with a tight lid, make dressing by shaking vinegar, oil, and sugar.
• Pour dressing over veggies and toss gently.
• Cover and chill a few hours or overnight.
• Stir before serving with a slotted spoon so that the excess dressing runs off.
