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.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after yesterday’s historic day. change won’t happen all at once, there is much to work on...
but for the first time in some time,
I know many are easing up those tense shoulders
& releasing a big deep breathe of relief...

it’s okay to feel good
about releasing all the energy
from the last four years,
we deserve to celebrate
letting go of that...but I do feel
this overall newfound sense of hope,
of inspiration, of drive, motivation,
one we haven’t felt in sometime,
a sigh of relief, that at least,
we’re taking the first steps 
to expand & better the days ahead for all🌾🧡✨
This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
