Corn, Tomato & Green Bean Succotash
Traditional in America’s southern states, succotash is always made with corn and usually includes lima beans and green and red peppers. In this variation we use green beans and tomatoes for the red and green. This is a delicious side dish that could easily be turned into an entrée with the addition of squash, diced cooked chicken, and even kidney beans or chick peas, two legumes kids seem to prefer.
