Before the air fryer, you could sauté veggies for your salad. But, now the air fryer can do all the heavy lifting to create some of the best flavors for tender zucchini and tomatoes. These roasted veggies then pair perfectly with the fresh and crisp spinach.

Plus this delicious salad is paired wonderfully with an amazing homemade, yet still simple salad dressing. Double the recipe and you can keep the dressing in this dispenser set and keep it in the fridge for your next salad.

Does the Air Fryer Need to Be Preheated for Zucchini Tomato Corn Salad?

You will need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe. By having the air fryer basket already hot before adding the vegetables, you can get the right amount of crisp on the outside without over cooking the vegetables.

What Will You Need to Make an Air Fryer Zucchini Tomato Corn Salad?

The Cosori 5.8 quart air fryer is the air fryer I use, and what is needed for the recipe. If you already have an air fryer, get it out and ready to use! If not, check out the Cosori air fryer.

How to Make Air Fryer Zucchini Tomato Corn Salad:

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

After getting the air fryer out, plug it in and preheat the air fryer to 400F or 200C for 5 minutes. While the air fryer is preheating, cut up the zucchini.

Step 2: Add Zucchini and Tomatoes to the Basket

After the air fryer basket is preheated, remove it from the air fryer and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

When the basket is prepared, pour in the chopped zucchini and cherry tomatoes, and then spray the tops of the vegetables with the cooking spray also.

Then season the vegetables with salt and pepper and put the fryer basket back into the air fryer and set the time for 5-6 minutes at a temperature of 400F or 200C.

Step 3: Add in the Corn

When the timer goes off, open up the air fryer and pour in the frozen corn kernels and mix it together. Then place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes or until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness and crispness.

Step 4: Make Homemade Dressing

As the vegetables are finishing up cooking in the air fryer, in a small bowl or mason jar pour in the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, honey, and olive oil.

Then simply stir it up or shake it until the ingredients are completely combined.

Step 5: Build Your Zucchini and Corn Salad

Once the vegetables are done and the homemade salad dressing has been made, get out a bowl and line it with fresh spinach and serve the roasted veggies over top!

Then finish the salad off with the homemade dressing and sprinkle some feta cheese on top. Now simply serve and enjoy!

Final Thoughts

I love a good salad recipe, and this air fryer zucchini and corn salad recipe is a great autumn recipe. I enjoy all of the roasted veggies, but when the vegetables are put with fresh spinach, the tenderness and crispiness balance out wonderfully.
