Grilled Summer Squash and Corn Salad

August 29, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Grilled Summer Squash and Corn Salad | Dreamery Events

What really is succotash? It’s a summer salad with a combination of butter beans, corn, summer and squash. Well it became the inspiration for this grilled summer squash corn salad, sans the beans. 

Like all the recipes I’m sharing this week, this is another easy one to make ahead. Grill up all the squash and corn the day before, coat in the dressing and relax knowing you’ve got a great side dish all ready for your guests. And like this potato salad, it’s sunny warm weather approved, tasting better at room temperature or warmed on the grill.

This fresh summer veggie salad deserves a little kick, it’s just begging for a sprinkle of cayenne or some sliced grilled jalapeño. The heat brings out the squash’s simple flavors. And I have told you I couldn’t get enough of three foods this summer, well you’re seeing a bit of corn in this recipe too. I mean when there’s so much of it in season and at markets, it’s almost a shame not to enjoy as much of this vegetable as you can for the short months of summer we have. Most just grill or boil it, but when it comes to corn you can really do so much with it. I spiced up this black bean salsa and now blended it with my go to summer grilled vegetable dish, to create a deliciously light and seasonally flavored salad.

It can also be mixed with greens, like red leaf lettuce or spinach, and grilled chicken for a heartier salad. Oh, and as a side note, I had roasted corn for lunch, yes talk about getting as much as you can.

Grilled summer squash can become repetitive too, so it’s worth it to change things up, like using different fresh herbs or mixing with another seasonal vegetable.

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
