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.

I love how they make a statement in larger arrangements or more minimalist creations, but even more so, beautifully grouped together on their own in lovely vintage bud vases. Spring certainly has so many wonders & simple intricacies that bring us joy, even if for a brief season🌿

Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates the simple things🤍

I’ve found the less I share on social media the more authenticity thrives. The ever-dream & idea filled mind grows & flourishes. It’s been comforting knowing that other creatives I’ve admired for years, both event related & not, have in part felt the same. When one creative outlet was paused, the other creative ideas that had been hibernating in the mind, quietly waiting for their time, began to shine brighter & brighter. Yes, it’s been comforting feeling that commonality in change & perspective...

But the one thing that’s never changed for me, is celebrating the beauty in the simple things. Giving a new home, a new form of life to a simple treasure. Those subtle everyday moments that are beyond inspiring...
