Sweet Summer Succotash

Jul 8, 2016 · 12 Comments

This summer succotash is bursting with the season’s freshest ingredients from sweet corn to ripe grape tomatoes that are tossed with buttery Cannellini beans. It is a refreshing dish perfect alongside any dish!

Living the Gourmet: Sweet Summer Succotash

Russel Baker remarked that “Summer has the power to make us suffer and like it.” Her in July-stricken New York, I have found myself searching for the truth in the latter half of the statement.

While ‘lazy days’ abound, they are punctuated by the same layers of ‘busy-ness’ as the rest of year. As a result, I have more or less found myself going through humidity-drenched motions of the day to day life – waiting for my next opportunity to take a snooze in the shade of my porch, with a cool fresh iced lemonade in hand.

Living the Gourmet: Sweet Summer Succotash

However, yesterday evening I was reminded, quite succinctly, of why I love the summer. After some hours in the kitchen, I put together a summer table of thinly sliced grilled prime rib, served with a fresh corn, grape tomato, Cannellini beans and fresh parsley succotash. That was preceded by a platter of sliced crusty bread, and cheese platter, brie, gorgonzola, and salami. What really completed the meal, however, was the fresh mango slushie I made to go alongside it.

You see, something like ‘succotash’ just doesn’t quite hold up much later in the year, or sipping a mango slushie is not quite as enticing once the days turn frigid. However, these were delicious additions which brought summer to an otherwise year-round friendly table.

    Hi Catherine, This sounds like a wonderful salad for the summer nights. My dad loves succotash! He always wanted my mom to make it..she did once in awhile but I know that the rest of the family didn't really like it. I always enjoyed eating it, The ingredients are so delicious and good for you as well. Your recipe is simple but very colorful. Plus no lima beans..I think that is what the family did not like. I will try this one and maybe we will have some converts. Thanks for sharing your words and recipe..Blessing for a great weekend.. Hugs Dottie :)

    What a delicious menu Catherine! Every single item. This side dish looks like an effortless, colorful and tasty one. We have had some cool days and nights recently, but the heat is forecasted to return. This is the perfect side dish. I could easily call this dinner. Why not! :) Have a wonderful week my friend! XO
