Notes

- Canned Ingredients: Lima beans are sometimes considered a superfood. They are a great source of iron. Using canned lima beans and corn makes this recipe particularly convenient and fast. You can also use fresh corn or frozen corn if that is what you have on hand.
- Vegetables: Onion, tomatoes, and garlic bring really great flavor to this dish. I love to use cherry tomatoes during the summer months but a larger diced tomato works too. Feel free to add any additional vegetables you’d like.
- Herbs: Thyme and fresh basil are easy to find and really make this dish taste fresh and light.
- Seasonings: I use garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and paprika in my recipe but you could also add coarse salt, black pepper or fresh oregano.
- Dairy: I like to cook my onions in some butter to give them a little more flavor but you could make this dish vegan by substituting olive oil.
- Cumin and paprika are not traditional to this recipe but they do add good flavor if you want to add them! After making this recipe, I used the leftovers to make a delicious breakfast. I mixed the succotash with scrambled eggs and my 2-Minute Healthy Veggie Dip for a delicious and nutritious breakfast!
- You can add any other vegetables that you want into this Lima Beans and Corn Succotash to put your own spin on it. Corn, lima beans, and tomatoes are the essential ingredients in the succotash recipe, but you can add anything else from your farmer's market haul.
- This is great as a side dish to meat, and would be delicious to serve at a summer cookout with some BBQ chicken or pork chops.
- Some southern versions of succotash like to add crispy bacon, pork belly, or cook the vegetables in bacon drippings.
