Succotash is basically githeri….. so essentially this is another way to eat your githeri aside from the usual toss it in copious amounts of water and boil *sic*.
I actually discovered this salad years ago at an office I used to work at. Every Friday afternoon we would get a trolley full of drinks and snacks at the top and this was one of the snacks, served up in these cute clear cocktail bowls. I found it really bizarre given that I had always had it as a hot meal.
As you can tell, my opinion changed. It’s actually one of my fave salads to have especially in a setting like a bbq or a family meal setting. You can even have it as a cold salad or a warm salad and it helps that it is super nutritious. I am convinced I can convince you to change your mind as well.
Serves 6 (as a side dish)
1 tin red kidney beans
1 tin cannellini (white) beans
1 cup cooked sweetcorn
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1 cup diced chorizo sausage
For the dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbs black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Drain the liquid from the kidney beans and cannellini beans and place them into a bowl together with the sweetcorn, tomatoes, onion, cucumber and chorizo and set aside.
Pour the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper into a glass jar. Place the lid on and shake, shake, shake. Pour over the bowl with the salad and toss it all together.
That’s it!
