Instructions

Spread the mixture onto each slice of the baguette. Place the slices onto a baking sheet oil side up and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.
- While waiting for crostinis to bake, wrap each ear of corn in plastic wrap and place in microwave on high power for 2 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly before unwrapping. Slice corn from cob.
- Place corn, zucchini, pepper, red onions, green onions, and tomato in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- In the same bowl, add lemon juice and lemon zest. Then, drizzle over olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir once more.
