- 2 cups Edamame (shelled, cooked)
- 1.5 cups Sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium Zucchini (diced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Instructions
Prepare all the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion; halve the cherry tomatoes; and chop the parsley.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Add the cooked edamame and sweet corn to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine and heat through.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute until the tomatoes are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy at room temperature as a light, refreshing salad. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
