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…
