Succotash Salad



Source:  The Kitchn

Great way to use fresh soybeans while fresh corn and tomatoes are readily available as well!

2 T. unsalted butter
1 large sweet onion, chopped (about 1 c.)
1 1/2 c. fresh or frozen soybeans, cooked al dente*
Kernels from 6 ears of corn (about 5 c.)
1 pt. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 c. feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 c. basil, sliced into thin ribbons (chiffonade)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In medium saucepan, melt butter.  Add chopped onion and a small pinch of salt and cook, stirring, over medium heat until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.  Lower the heat, add the beans and corn and stir over medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until tender, but still crisp.

Transfer cooked ingredients to a large bowl and toss with tomatoes and lemon juice.  Serve immediately with the feta, basil and black pepper sprinkled on top, or let the mixture cool, then top with feta, basil and black pepper.

*You could also use lima or fava beans too!
