Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small zucchini, preferably yellow (8 ounces total), sliced into thin rounds (about 2 1/3 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces mixed beans (such as wax and Romano), trimmed
2 ears corn, shucked
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint
2 to 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let stand 45 minutes. Rinse, then drain and pat very dry.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans; return to a boil, then cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop cooking. Drain; pat dry. Add corn to water and simmer 1 to 2 minutes. Run under cold water to stop cooking; pat dry. On a small baking sheet, stand 1 ear on its end. With a sharp knife, slice downward on all sides, keeping blade against it to remove as many kernels as possible. Repeat with other ear.
  • In a large bowl, toss beans and zucchini with oil, herbs, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in corn. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used a yogurt-based dressing instead. It was just as delicious and much healthier.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sweet corn and tomatoes, and they didn't even notice the lima beans!

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for a protein boost, and it was delicious! The chicken added a smoky flavor that complemented the other ingredients perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of lima beans, but this salad changed my mind! The beans were perfectly cooked and had a slightly sweet flavor that complemented the other ingredients well.

This succotash salad was a hit at my summer barbecue! The combination of sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and tender lima beans was refreshing and flavorful. I added a bit of crumbled feta cheese for an extra tang, and it was perfect.
