Succotash Salad

I owe this recipe to my mother who is visiting with us from NC for 10 days.  She made it while I was down there recently and it was such a hit that it was one of the first things I requested her make.  And then I, of course, get to share it with you.  I love having little recipe helpers who contribute on To Simply Inspire!

It is super simple to whip up too.  Besides quickly sautéing the onion, all you have to do is combine the ingredients and it’s ready to go.

This Succotash Salad is the perfect fresh addition to any summer get-together.  It pairs wonderfully with a little grilled chicken,  potato salad and fruit salad.

I have to share something funny. My husband has recently become very interested in photography. He bought his own camera and has been studying and learning a ton. He has been mostly taking nature shots and they are actually really great.  Well, guess who wanted to get in on taking some pics of my recipes when he saw me getting ready to take these shots?   I think he did a great job so I am letting him have the spotlight today.  He took this featured picture!
