Description

Succotash is a dish that generally consists of sweet corn with lima beans or another shell bean. Other ingredients can typically include: turnips, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and okra. Served warm or at room temperature, it’s a great side. Here, Chef Diane substituted frozen shelled edamame from last season’s Spiral House garden for the lima beans to create a dish that’s super high in protein as well. One cup of cooked edamame contains 17 grams of complete protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids that people need and which the body cannot produce by itself. The salad is packed with nutrients.
